Hotmail died this year? How?
It didn't, it became outlook.
A fate worse than death.
It became Outlook like five years ago, unless I missed something.
Yeah I don't know what that dude was talking about. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
First it became live.com
Where does "MSN" and "Passport" fit in this orgy?

Hotmail->Live->Outlook

Hotmail - young rebellious teenager with 2 MB of storage

Live - "experimenting" phase, "monopoly conviction? I do not recall!"

Outlook - Older YUP, approaching middle age, quite cynical, but still might change, albeit with reluctance and complete lack of enthusiasm
