So it turns out the whole Hotmail thing was a "glitch."  I put glitch in quotation marks because it wasn't that Hotmail was down, I could access it AFTER downloading the Windows Live Mail client.  >_o

Then today on MSN.com there was an article about how the glitch was fixed and that Hotmail clients could continue to use Hotmail via the web.  

I have reached the conclusion that the "glitch" was put in place to force Hotmail and other MSN web-based email users to download and use the Windows Live Mail client.  It didn't even occur to me today to even try and access Hotmail.  I just figured that it now had to be handled via the WLM client.

Very sneaky, Microsoft, very sneaky.  However, now I am on to you and your wiley ways.

Got a little surprise today, and maybe if I actually took the time to read the little notices that Microsoft sends out as part of the Windows Live newsletter thingy, I would have known about it.

So Hotmail as I have always known it does not exist anymore.  Instead they operate strictly through Windows Live Mail, which is basically a glorified version of Outlook for Vista.  If your computer runs Vista and you have a Hotmail account, the only way you can now access it is via Windows Live Mail.  Which of course meant that I had to download the Windows Live Mail client and install it.  Apparently through Windows Live Mail I can now also access my Gmail in the same client, but frankly I like being able to access my Gmail separate from my Hotmail.  Just makes more sense to me that way.

It's just frustraiting to no end when these things are changed with little to no warning.  Serioulsy, do they think that EVERYONE reads the little email newsletter and hangs on to ever frickin' word?

Yes, that's now angry I am.

Frick on a stick with a brick!
