Hotmail Users

lol, the sock puppets made me laugh

I use Hotmail for a pretty stupid reason.....asthetics.
It looks better. Yahoo, however better or worse it may be technically, has shit for an
interface and site design.
I also used to chat quite a bit, and because I value looks so highly, I dislike using IRC,
and Yahoo's chat looks as dull as IRC, except it's got a big red "Y" on it.
Actually, I have 5 or 6 Hotmail address...because back when I chatted all the time
I got banned alot.
It's kind of odd though, some of my addresses get lots of junk mail, but two of them
only recieve stuff from the MSN staff. Ever.

I can explain why a good chunk of Hotmail users use it in one post.

Plain and simple - MSN Messenger. AFAIK, MSN Messenger requires a Microsoft .NET passport. And what do you need for a .NET passport? A hotmail address. In other words, to use MSN Messenger you need a Hotmail account.

btw u can go to www.passport.com , register your email address(non msn/hotamail) , Messenger requires you to have a PASSPORT which can be registered

i use [email protected] wid messenger , don't trust me ???

add me , and we will chat on messenger

Yahoo is far more insecure than Hotmail. When you enter your password with yahoo it is sent in plain text via HTTP. When you enter your password with hotmail it is automatically encrypted via  HTTPS. This means that anyone on your LAN, or at your ISP can 'sniff' your yahoo password. You can enter the password via HTTPS in Yahoo but you have to select the option each time you login which I find rather tedious.

It's also a matter of principle. Every year or so a huge child porn ring is exposed usually with a yahoo group being the 'front door' to it.

When was the last time you heard of a hotmail club being used in that manner?

if you use yahoo java it encrips it with md5
