Hotmail hasnt worked correctly, well, since it ran on BSD ;)

The self professed most advanced OS has issues running a web based email service?
Hotmail outage peeves some e-mail users.

(Peeves those that use and pleases others that dont ;). Considering how much spam used to come from hotmail I would be happy if the whole damn thing just stopped. Its gotten better in the last year or so but it used to be a MEGA source of spam.)

Now dont get me wrong its probably a hell of an operation to run 187 million email accounts, not trivial, but its pathetic that its been an ongoing problem for WEEKS (and note that email is about as critical a service as you can host nowadays, seems innocuous enough but when people cant get to email it aint pretty). That and the Hotmail service has a history of issues ever since the purchase by Microsoft and the latter "upgrade" to Windows servers.
