It was 10 years ago last week that I registered for my first Hotmail email account. That was before Microsoft bought Hotmail when it had become the most popular web based email provider. HoTMaiL was a play on the “word” HTML.
10 years ago is also when I co-designed and published my hometown’s website for the Community Access Project. Not many of today’s websites can say that they are a decade old and still online and updated.

I had one of the original Hotmail accounts as well. I let it go around the same time that MS decided to migrate the entire service over to the W2K/Exchange platform and the service stopped being reliable.

I’ve had many complaints over the 10 years, but so far nothing too major for me. I did have a problem where my mail wouldn’t deliver to another Hotmail address for more than a day, or maybe it was out to a Yahoo address. Anyway I just used a different account to send mail from to that person.
