Hotmail Breached; Microsoft Now Investigating
Hotmail showed other people's inboxes.
Microsoft said that it is investigating a security snafu at its Hotmail property that occurred earlier this week. Some Hotmail users report that, upon logging into their account, they would see the inbox that belonged to someone else.
Microsoft quickly issued a statement: "Microsoft is investigating reports of a limited number of instances in which Windows Live customers may have access to other customers' accounts when accessing their account through mobile web browser. Microsoft takes customers' privacy seriously, and immediately upon learning of these reports, we started an investigation."
The company hasn't yet revealed what, if anything, it has discovered yet, but pledged to take appropriate action once it has completed the investigation.

I have two hotmail accounts and one Gmail account... Gmail is my main mail supplier and to be honest i find the Spam far more sever in Gmail.
Also i find hotmail easier to read when you get many sent/replies to one email.
It's free, how can anyone complain realy?
Thank you, Gmail!

I've got two (active) accounts for both services. I prefer the GMail over Hotmail because at least the Spam to the Gmail account actually ends up in the Spam folder. I've lost track of how many times I've had to manually filter through Spam on Homtail.
Don't get me wrong, I love SPAM, it's tasty with a side of rice. And I love the fact that both services are free. I just can't stand the fact that no matter how many times I flag "Fr3e V!agra" as Spam, I still get offers for it in the Inbox. I'm on my 4 & 5th hotmail accounts (one work, one for messenger/XBL), and I'm not going to make another ever (knocks on wood)
Get some real news...
That's a very general statement, but I mean that if 'N' 3G users are dynamically assigned an IP based off of 'X' tower(s) and they disconnect, does the next 'new' connection get that IP?
I don't have an understand as to how the process works, so this is all just uneducated\ignorant speculation.
And since Google and M$ are both companies, I'll stick with the first assumption: "money driven". Now, making GMail and Hotmail "free" is not quite like that. They provide a services using their main company name for it.
If you provide a "lousy" service in the light of your competition at the same price, you're doing it wrong. Since GMail is an awsome service Hotmail can be no less, obviously.
Now... They DO make money from us giving that free service and they ought to improve it too keep it that way. By either feedback/reports or in-house pure R&D.
So, bottom line is: free of charge, doesn't mean they can be lazy about implementing new things. At least on the email service IMO.
Cheers!
Well yeah, Gmail is much more popular, I thought Hotmail had gone the way of the dinosaur.
Gmail has excellent spam filtering and has worked 100% of the time for me.
