Attention Hotmail users

Attention Hotmail users: do you know how many e-mails you're not getting?   About three-quarters of all the e-mail I send to anyone with a Hotmail address, even when I'm replying to something they sent me, comes back saying "operation timed out" or "undeliverable, try again later".  I can't be the only one experiencing this.  Bill Gates says that spam will be a thing of the past in something like two years.  Yeah, by cornering the market and getting everyone on hotmail, and then not letting anyone's email through at all.  I can't wait for Gmail to launch.  I can't help but feel like it's going to take shit over.  At least with people who know what they're talking about.  Let the middle-class suburbanites have their Hotmail.
