You can't beat free online e-mail. You want a different e-mail address for every day of the week? You got it. Need separate accounts for those sites you just know are going to spam you like there's no tomorrow? No problem. No problem, that is, until those sites go down, which is exactly what happened to Microsoft yesterday. Most users of the company's Windows Live suite of tools, which includes the free online e-mail client Hotmail, were unable to access the site for much of the day, leaving them with no way to look at all of their spam.
The outage was total, leaving the service's 260 million subscribers with nothing but a "Service Unavailable" message when they attempted to view the site.
Today, we're happy to report, things seem to be back up and working correctly -- if a bit slowly. Spam ahoy.
