It's Microsoft!

from the company that created the security riddled operating
system Windows, comes the i love messenger website!

Did we really think that the people who brought us windows would
bring us a website without a security flaw? *giggles*

CNET Missed Major Story About Hotmail

CNET's reporter must be brain dead to miss the real story which is that Microsoft disabled Outlook Express access to Hotmail starting late last week even for paid up customers to premium accounts. The service still isn't fully restored. Check out Usenet forums under Microsoft's newsgroup for Outlook Express to see the message traffic.

WebDAV ("outlook Express support") is still working!

I have my (free) Hotmail account polled hourly, and there's no problem except the usual occasional connection failures (an average of one failure every three days in the past year). Just a minute ago it worked!

Hotmail and Outlook Express

I have had hotmail since day 1 back in 1991 / 1992. And Outlook Express since day 1 also.

I was really pissed that Microsoft kept a 1meg limit to e-mails and was ready to move to GMAIL when they suddenly increased my limit to 250MB.

Now they have discontinued supporting Hotmail in Outlook Express for free accounts.

Microsoft just seems to be making bad decisions daily.

They just made my decision to move to GMAIL !!

Asta la vista microsoft.
