I see many guys having hotmail ids, I see no reason in having a hotmail id if you have far better mail service by Google!! Any comments...

Yes to compare hotmail to any other mail service, hotmail is nothing. Other mail service like gmail, yahoo has to much faster then hotmail. To all this compare hotmail service nothing.

Hotmail is one of the oldest ones so one gets used to it therefore it is still in high use.

Hotmail is one of the most knows email service provider and i see not reason for not having a id on it. I have accounts on all popular emai service and hotmail is one of them.

You are absolutely true. There is no point in using hotmail. Google and yahoo are the best in this. Hotmail is not hot.

I am using Hotmail from last 7 years. I love Hotmail because of its great services. i like the display and other features are very good like sending and receiving emails is very easy. The Hotmail messenger is also very easy to use.

Hotmail is one of the oldest email service. For some years there are some other services appear in market, and even got into competition in no time, because of their style, download speed, spam facitlity and spac limit etc but i guess, some people still prefer to use hotmail because they have been using it for some time and kind of used to it.

yes ,hotmail has become old it is still in high use.

I still have a hotmail account but do not use it. If I use it its only for chatting with people who have hotmail ids.
I use gmail for all my transactions and emails.
Hotmail was very popular some time back but now there are even better services like gmail, yahoo, rediff etc, and they have better messenger services too.
I actually never felt comfortable with hotmail!! lol, now I do not even login to my hotmail email account!

the reason for having hotmail is because when you use another id, and send alot of hotmail friends emails in one shot, hotmail will call it spam and reject most of it. but hotmail will not call hotmail spam for the same scenario.
