Most afternoons I get "windows live unavailable". Get real hotmail. Is everyone checking their hotmail account and making it impossible to log in? I hate hotmail, and am in the process of switching to gmail. You should be glad you don’t have to deal with hotmail anymore. Most afternoons I get “windows live unavailable”. Get real hotmail.

Many of the older emails with attachments couldn't be read. (Got a message that they had been deleted.) In several cases the attachments wouldn't open. Or pictures/files would be truncated. (Only the top half of the last picture would show. Or a video would cut off before the end.) very odd behavior. I was just going through my old emails in my Hotmail account.
