Regretfully the Reg is not available to your Australian readers as Amazon UK won't let us purchase any eBooks.

Microsoft updates Hotmail to deal with grey spam

Hotmail

As a long time user (opened 1998) of Hotmail with two accounts, I consider that Hotmail is most relevent to my needs. And I intend to continue using it for many years to to come. In the early days there were some organisations like PayPal and Ashampoo that initially refused to accept Hotmail accounts, but they do now.

I have gone through five different ISPs since 1991 and have never used their email offerings, except for Compuserve, thus saving myself the hassle of changing email addresses during all this time.

Currently I have started to use Gmail as I have an Android mobile and could not get Exchange to work on that device.

So, I am happy to continue using Hotmail and the Skydrive service.
