Windows Live Hotmail SUCKASS!!!

Ever since I switched over to using this pos system, I've regretted it. Every time I try to click to get to the inbox or something, it takes between 10 seconds and indefinitely to get there. I started writing this after clicking my inbox to refresh it. The thing seems to constantly be sending or searching or something and if they were trying to be like gmail or something, they fail miserably.

Screw MS and one more strike and i will be going all mac.

GMail, anyone?

Hotmail's slow, but I hang on to the account I've had since '96. It's my spamtrap - and the addy I give out when I'm not sure what'll happen to it.

I ran from Hotmail to Gmail a few years ago and never looked back.

My wife "stole" my hotmail account, leaving me free to move to gmail. I guess I should thank her!

though I dunno about '96... maybe '99ish here. I haven't used the web interface in forever. I manage it via outlook express.

I've had mine since '97 (you can see your join date if you go from your inbox to Home.. Account.. Account Summary).

I couldn't get by without my Hotmail account. I've got 10 years worth of contacts & registrations in there

I haven't had mine as long as I thought I had - April 18, 1998...

Thanks for the tip!

Me since May 6,1999. That makes sense since I was going to lose my college email account I needed a free one.
