Beating a Dead Horse

We’ve already established that Hotmail sucks.

But, as if Microsoft didn’t want to leave any shadow of a doubt, this is what I saw when I tried to log in earlier today:

It says:

Account Temporarily Unavailable

We apologize, but your account is temporarily unavailable. This delay does not affect the entire site or result from any problem specific with your account however the server that holds your account information is temporarily unavailable. We do not expect this delay to last much longer, so please continue to check our site for your account status.
We will do our best to make your account available as quickly as possible. We appreciate your support, and sincerely apologize for the inconvenience.

Now, it’s not unreasonable for Hotmail to have down time, and if they didn’t suck in so many other ways, I’d let this slide; alas, they do suck in so many other ways.

But who knows? Maybe I’m just still bitter over their deletion of all my emails. #-o
