Can someone know if there is a way to change the adv/news in the bottom
to the region I have updated in MSN Account Service/.NET Passport ?

Thanks

Greetings,

The ads are dependent on your locale set in your Passport, although you will have to sign out
and back in to see the change.

However, be aware that the news ad is specific to certain locales only. For instance, if you
set your locale to Canada, there is no news at all.

Hi Jonathan,

Thanks for four reply.

For Ads : I totally agree with you that the they are depending on the
locale set in the Passport and I have tried changing a couple of
different countries and the ads are acting properly after sign in/out.

For News: I am in English now, but I can see my friends in Japanese
news as well. I tried changing my locale to Japanese in Passport, but
my news still sits in English.... As a matter of interest, can you show
where I can change the news ? I'll give a try.

Thanks
