Microsoft just updated hotmail to "Windows Live Hotmail" - as if that "Live" in the name was really needed. Anyway, due to the upgrade is anyone else having problems accessing there account? I can't even get the main page to load.

No problems here.

Nevermind, I got it... man, now it all looks different - can't microsoft leave anything alone?

"If it ain't broken, don't fix it." If only people at M$ understood it, too... I don't like how Live made everything eat more memory. Don't people over at M$ realize that not everyone can afford a new computer (or at least additional memory) every now and then? I much preferred the old look. Stupid motherfuckers.

There's a link in the lower left corner of the inbox screen that says "Switch to Classic." You can use the old interface if you click on that.

Thank you!  Stupid new design...

Here's the link to Gmail - then all of your Hotmail problems will go away.

I'll second BAMAToNE in that at least Gmail works with Outlook Express, unlock Hotmail.  If it weren't such a hassle to migrate all my email over to Gmail I'd have abandoned Hotmail already.

Thirded. I still have an active Hotmail account for Craigslist (you get spammed like crazy if you post there), but I only use GMail. All of my peeves about Hotmail are gone now.
