So who doesn't have an inbox on hotmail right now?

It seems as though windows hotmail has crashed and is telling everyone that tries to log in that they don't have an inbox yet. I am one of those people. There has been 250 yahoo answers to this question in the past 40 minutes with people saying they are having the same problem.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Any speculation as to what it is? (Terrorists, Conficker, etc.)

I got tired of hotmail's bullshit years ago.

The hassle switching accounts to gmail (then setting up a client such as Thunderbird) is worth it.

It's the same in my part of Australia. And I'm guessing standard internet gremlins.

Though, on second thoughts, it's probably NSG's fault. Somehow.

Meh, it's not like I even use it every day and I don't even really communicate with people through emails, so it serves its purpose.

I just wanted to check my email for once...

Oh good, I'm glad others are having this problem because I was a bit wtf!

Even through messenger, click on Mail and it opens my mail program rather than going to my Hotmail inbox.

My hotmail account is my name at Hotmail, I've had it since about '95, it's technically my permanent address.

I've still got an inbox, but I wish I didn't have one so I could be part of the majority

I have actually never experienced problem with hotmail. Must be our strong swedisg servers or something :)

On the other side I have so many mail-accounts it starting to be freaky...

I don't have an inbox on hotmail. Why would I want one?

Especially since today gmail is a lot better than virtually all paid email services, and it doesn't even serve any ads if you don't want them.

I just switched to gmail a few days ago and I'm happy with it so far.

Clearly a non-biased source.

As my hotmail accounts are working fine, I'd say it's BS.

I've never, uh, had hotmail, so I don't know anything about it.
