Why not instead, give users a free tool or feature, Powered by WLM, where users can chat with friends, based on a chat feature developed for its partner, Facebook. Let people chat away and get them using some fo the tools WLM offers, but still give them the choice of downloading it when they want to - and not a trial period - just good old fashioned branding, where you are building goodwill with users. The perception of goodwill toward various online communities is what Microsoft needs to become great at.
