Dear Microsoft, Hotmail Is Down For Me And It’s Been More Than An Hour

Dear Microsoft, Remember me? I'm that guy at TechCrunch who actually defends you and your products, when appropriate , and whenever people start talking that crazy talk about you. I would like to genuinely thank you for your part in making Web-based email popular with Hotmail - now called Windows Live Hotmail I see - and all. My wife still proudly hands out her @hotmail.com address whenever someone asks her how she can be reached, even though she is known to occasionally use Facebook and Skype. And yes, I still think she rocks.
