I got this message (on LinkedIn.com): 
http://partner.linkedin.com/2010/01/linkedin-partner-message-from-microsoft-12/?n=4d696b65
It has also been archived here: 
   http://www.webcitation.org/5muPL2hYq 
so that even if the "original" one gets deleted, or disappears behind 
a paywall or something, that "archived" copy should still be available. 

"No comment" needed on why (or, let's say, whether
Microsoft's way of doing business strikes me as "unpleasant". 
Their message speaks for itself.
