I am now convinced that providing incredibly CRAPPY support is a marketing ploy on the part of hotmail. See, they really want you to sign onto their PAID service so they treat users of the Free service like dirt. I also see a similar marketing ploy by airlines. When I was a kid the airlines treated EVERYBODY like royalty. In fact one time we even flew first class and I didn’t notice much difference from coach except that we sat closer to the front of the plane and got to talk to the pilot. Nowadays, airline personnel treat coach passengers like DIRT. Why? Because it gives them an incentive to fly First Class. So now Hotmail is crapping over its Free users because they want people to PAY for their service. If not, you get treated like dirt.

Lately, Bill Gates, has been playing at being some sort of humanitarian? HEY BILL!!! You want to help make the world a better place? Then start with your CRAPPY Hotmail service which first blocks people from access to their hotmail accounts and then makes it almost impossible to ever access it again.

But it’s also true that if you do subscribe, you are now identified to them through your payment information. This automatically puts you in a better position if something does go wrong. You also have the leverage of being able to quit if not satisfied with the service.

A free account is worth every penny you paid for it.
