I’ve been a hotmail user from the beginning. I have over 30 years computer experience and I can tell you that blaming spammers is a load of crap. Hotmail/MSN should not penalize the users who have bought the software(Outlook)/(Microsoft)systems and used the mail service, because they happen to lack the knowledge or expertise to stop spammers. In other words if you believe their line I have some swamp land in Lubbock Texas I’d like to sell you.

I t seems like it was only a few years ago that Hotmail was made available through OE. It doesn’t seem right to charge to use two MS products to get mail. If you currently are using OE for Hotmail, remember that you have a few months before the change affects you. Switching to Yahoo won’t help, you have to pay them too to use OE. Keep your Hotmail address and get your mail on the web.

On a sepeate note the comment from above feels like it was planted by the well know MS publicity machine…
I’m bummed out about it as well; however, I’m also am bummed out about the spam problem and if $19.95/year is going to be what it takes, I don’t mind.

I have resisted the urge to change from IE to Firefox but now recently I have had to due to secuirty concerns, I have been resisting the need to change to yahoo but yet again alas it seems I will have to and it seems it won’t be long and I will have to let Windows go and embrace Linux. Just another nail in the coffin. Thanks Bill for helping me make the discission, it was almost acceptable while it lasted.

No worries. Yahoo did the same thing and started charging for the same service but then keen software developpers came up with a free application called Yahoo Pops to make it all possible again. Change to Yahoo and use Yahoo Pops or wait until someone comes up with a similar application for Hotmail.

Damn, I’ve been using Hotmail before it was even Hot. If they’re going to take this free service away from us now, what’s next? Actually, I can live without it, and it looks like I’m going to have to. This old dog can learn new tricks. Kenny

Maybe we should get rid of Microsoft all together.
Mozilla and Firefox here I come.
