Microsoft AdCentre Affiliate Program Closing?

I received an email yesterday from the Microsoft AdCentre Affiliate program team stating that effective February 28th 2008, they are closing their affiliate program and coupons for Microsoft AdCentre. Anyone else recieved this?

I logged into the affiliate system to check for any messages there and didn’t see anything to state they are ending their affiliate program.

If this is legit… a few questions come to mind

1. Is this due to the “Microhoo” fiasco (yes, I used the word I hate… I feel so filthy!)

2. Does Microsoft have all the advertisers it needs? I expect we know the answer to that!

3. Was $35 per new account to much for the great Microsoft to handle?

4. Were people gaming the system? (Google AdWords example…but the principal applies)

Whatever the case… it makes for some interesting news!
