I'm tempted; I really am, Deebye. I generally dislike hotmail due to the incessant heckling from the hotmail staff, the small stash-limit and the incredibly small limit to outgoing e-mails (1MB!).
However due to
* E-mail-conservatism
* the fact that I'd have to give away my new e-mail to a whole bunch of people
* the fact that I never get spam; ever (ever!) (except from the hotmail staff, which I can't block)
I'm reluctant to change e-mail-provider. I've had eirik_jakobsen@hotmail.com for as long as I've had Internet, and being slightly conservative, I don't want to let it go; just as I am uneasy about removing the [wcip]-tag from my nickname, even though the Counterstrike-clan has been dead in the water for years. I'm not a big fan of change, and if I can, I'll do everything I can to maintain the status quo, even if that means limiting my e-mails to 1 megabyte and having to delete a few mails a year from the hotmail-staff.
