  Hotmail - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hotmail, founded by Jack Smith and Sabeer Bhatia in 1995, was commercially launched on July 4, 1996, Independence Day in the United States, symbolically representing freedom from ISPs.
By December 1997, Hotmail reported more than 8.5 million subscribers [1] and was sold later that month to Microsoft for a reported $400m, which rebranded it under its MSN umbrella.
Hotmail offers 250 MB of free e-mail storage (although there is a 10 MB attachment limit) for users in the US, Canada, the UK, Spain and Australia; users in other countries get a mailbox limit of 2 MB.

 Wired News: Hotmail: A Spammer's Paradise?
If so many spam offers weren't totally bogus, Hotmail users would be incredibly well-endowed, slim people with plenty of hair who make big money working at home when they aren't having great sex provoked by free porn and herbal Viagra.
Many users of the free e-mail service offered by Microsoft's MSN.com say that within a day of creating a new Hotmail account the spam starts flowing in, almost as if spammers have sunk a tap directly into Hotmail's user database and are slurping up a free-flowing torrent of e-mail addresses.
Steve Atkins, of the anti-spam website Sam Spade, said that Hotmail is the primary target of spammers, who often use dictionary attacks to harvest addresses from Hotmail servers.

 Verified: you can get anybody you want kicked off Hotmail | The Register
When we reported Hotmail's zero-tolerance spam policy last week we thought it just might be possible to get the innocent Hotmail user of your choice kicked off the system with a simple email to abuse@hotmail.com.
There is however clearly a serious point to this; if it's possible for Hotmail users to have their accounts terminated through no fault or action of their own, without warning, investigation, or right of appeal, Hotmail clearly isn't a sensible place to put your email.
Hotmail certainly is the source of large volumes of spam, so abuse@hotmail.com is going to be a pretty busy place, full of overworked Support Representatives, but if they don't have time to deal with complaints properly, then it's clearly not full enough.
