  Hotmail died this year? How?
  • staticelf 9y ago
    It didn't, it became outlook.
    • shak77 9y ago
      It became Outlook like five years ago, unless I missed something.
      • staticelf 9y ago
        Yeah I don't know what that dude was talking about. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
        • rtx 9y ago

            Where does "MSN" and "Passport" fit in this orgy? Hotmail->Live->Outlook Hotmail - young rebellious teenager with 2 MB of storage Live - "experimenting" phase, "monopoly conviction? I do not recall!" Outlook - Older YUP, approaching middle age, quite cynical, but still might change, albeit with reluctance and complete lack of enthusiasm

              Passport was what is now your Microsoft account (aka .NET account, Live Account, etc) For a while hotmail was MSN hotmail and Windows Live Messenger was previously MSN messenger. Now MSN is just Microsoft's portal page.

      A fate worse than death.
