Thumb Down

I though it was "rebranded" Live Mail now

My Hotmail account is purely for junk and non-essential email. And I prefer the fast pre-Y2K version of Hotmail to the bloated slow version of today.

Did they really think this would work? Not only would the movie studio lawyers be all over this in a flash, but once word got around about the additional DRM, this was already DOA.
