Anti-MS Bias
Am I catching another whiff of an anti-MS personal agenda... While I agree that gmail is a superior web mail service, my experience with hotmail has been outstanding, especially during the last 2 years. I prefer gmail, but hotmail's spam filtering is excellent (in my experience). With an account over 10 years old, my hotmail account became almost unusable about 2 years ago, due to the amount of crap I received on a daily basis. However, Microsoft has done wonders with improving their spam detection. Yep, Better than gmail, even. Yahoo, is the one web mail service that really needs to improve their spam filtering. Receiving 100-200 mail messages a day has resulted in giving up on yahoo alltogether, despite their cool new web mail interface.
