Hotmail is probably the best thing to happen to the entire internet world since it began as a mass movement some five years ago. I have been using it for more than two years and I find it very, very useful. Much better since it is free.
One of the reasons I like it is that it is so popular; so many people have hotmail addresses that everyone finds my e-mail ID easy to remember.
The one huge problem with hotmail, until about seven eight months ago, was the junk mail which fills up the mail boxes. And it seems to increase if you use it regularly. So it appears that someone is watching! This is what happened to my father’s e-mail ID (that’s why I am not going to tell you folks what it is!).
But they solved that problem with the Bulk Mail facility. I was about to stop using my hotmail ID at that time, but I changed my mind because of that.
All in all, an excellent product. Worth its weight in gold.
