contrary to what other definers have said, hotmail was not started by microsoft. it was started by an individual who had an idea of making a free email service available through the web. microsoft acquired it years later (1999, maybe). originally running on unix servers, it was moved to a windows architecture, which is why hotmail had less reliable service in the first year or two that microsoft owned it.

Free email service you use when you don't want to give out your real email address. Better than your ISP email !

A mailing system delivered by Microsoft that gives you spam on toast in the morning and then feeds you junk in the evening.
Alex: Dude, I keep receiving fresh spam all the time in my hotmail account
Ben: It's called Hot-Mail for a reason - it serves freshly cooked spam all day long.
Alex: My bad

A free email service hosted by MSN which has lost it's greatness due to the fact that many people don't use the Microsoft Network any longer.
The other downside to this so called "free e-mail" is that it shuts off and deletes all your emails if you don't visit it on a regular basis.
Therefore, I use gmail and yahoo.
