Bet you still use Windows and Office though...
Gamemaster:
The reason I don't use my ISP account(s) is that:
Until I got DSL, my ISP only provided webmail that was even worse than hotmail.
My DSL email account has a rubishy name, also I'm moving soon and so will have to set up a new email account, again with a crappy name.
I'll stick to my demolicious.org and lex.tv addresses for quite some time methinks.
And yes, I am a Linux user, but I don't see why this should prevent me from using Hotmail. True, I don't use any MS products, but the cost of my storage space and bandwidth is paid for by:
a) all the ads on the hotmail site
b) selling my email address to spammers
I think for MS or anyone else to suggest that there is only One True Piece Of Software For The Internet is atrocious. The internet was invented so it could be used by anybody, and it seems that MS are trying to do a damned good job of locking it down to their platforms only. I only wish more people understood this, because then I wouldn't have to explain my hatred to them.
