The OS or hardware is totally irrelevant on the Internet with a thing as webmail. If you have a good browser (not IE) then there will be no problem.

What else is new? Hotmail=Microsoft. And all their servers "running" on IIS (though I suspect they have a big amount of *nix servers in a hidden room to manage the load and traffic). It has been lousy, it is lousy and it will always be lousy.
It still wonders me why 95% of the people use the most crapiest webmail available (hotmail), buy a Mercedes with a Skoda motor (Wintendo), pay fortunes for programs and anti-[spyware|malware|virus] software, while there are superior alternatives available, which are free, and which can turn your computer in a fully customized Mercedes with a Mercedes motor.
Difficult? Don't make me laugh. If you take your computer serious and you see it as an valuable asset in your daily life, make the move:
1. Downlaod SuSE 9.1

2. Burn the file (.iso) to CD
3. Boot from CD
And 25 minutes later you will have a Linux version on your computer, NEXT to your W version. At boot you can always choose if you want to start W or Linux.
I never spoke to someone who wants to go back to W after getting to know Linux. Yeh sure, you will have to invest time to learn certain things, same as you had to learn W, but there is thing different: Linux is fun! And it's a delight to work with good software.
And there is a big Linux community willing to help you out anytime.
It's the same as quitting smoking:
You will not lose a thing, you will only gain.
