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 !

Hotmail
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
Dispite the fact that my hotmail account works like 6 out of 10 times and all i get is porn spam, its still better then the ISP e-mail account we have with outlook and all that crap.
