Yeah, you're probably right, though I can't see them getting mine with a dictionary attack of any sort.

I seem to remember something in passport were you have to say that you don't want your id given to other passport sites, but I can't seem to find anything like that in my hotmail account.

That option isn't available for Hotmail and MSN passports. I once saw a statement by MS somewhere on the site that you can't disable information sharing for those accounts.

Since Hotmail is going to upgrade to a nice 250MB, do you think Yahoo! will counter that with perhaps 300MB? After Hotmail upgrades its services, Yahoo! will probably be on the bottom of the line. Have there been any news on this? Hotmail's extra 150MB will surely attract more users...

If Hotmail will upgrade to 250mb, I am sure Yahoo will remain at 100mb. Who is able to fill up 100mb easily? 250mb for Hotmail is nothing when spams are pouring into those accounts daily. Spams are using Hotmail's 250mb as well.

I dont know, after Hotmail goes threw the upgrade I may switch to them. I like there interface more then Yahoo!, and Gmail. If they bring back the calendar that would be great. No graphic ad's (if I switch to plus), and I can keep the free @msn.com address I have. I guess It depends how hotmail will compare once they upgrade.
