I strongly suspect that it just a marketing tool and a way to generate a mailing list.

I goes without saying that anything important will spread throughout the FS comunity like wild fire. So, why "sign up"?
Just because they call it "insider information" does not mean it is "private" as any Flight" info goes viral instantly.

Posted this same topic over on Avsim. Someone by the name "jahman" said this: (as there were people going on and on about the account thing.)

"To all of you posting that you need a Hotmail account to sign-up for the MS Flight Newsletter, where exactly do you get this info from? I mean, have you even *tried* signing-up for a LiveID with a non-Hotmail email?

"LiveID" is a moniker for "UserID" and every forum you have registered with so you can post and receive notifications by email requires you to provide a UserID (usually your regular email) and a password.

So for the MS Flight newsletter, Microsoft asks you to do exactly the same: Use your regular email and choose a password to register and get your newsletter. What's the bid deal?"
