Why Do People Use Hotmail?

[cthulhu_waves]

I thought it was a crappy email provider. Navigating around your inbox was slow and tedious. The webmasters told me that accounts were easy to hack (not by virtue of the account author) and competition has better and improved features.

So why do people still use Hotmail?

Are these the same people who use IE when they surf? Or is there something that I don't know about?

I have one but only so I could use MSN Messenger. I don't use it for any actual mail.

I've had the same Yahoo email account since 1996 and use it for a lot of stuff including now my iPhone. I also use a gmail account on my iPhone.

I ditched hotmail for Gmail long time ago

I've only had a hotmail account for MSN. Gmail is almost useless these days as it is the e-mail of choice for spammers and many places are just blocking it now.

For actual e-mail, I use my own domains.
