Well, they will put HotMail in Windows 99 and let Qualcomm scream "foul" (like Netscape). Just Kidding.

Eudora has already teamed up with Hotmail competitors. Do a search through previous posts on this thread for the announcement. My SI email address is on hotmail, it works quite well. They also seem to do a good job of keeping my spam quotient at an alltime low. Eh, to each his own. I smell a fad, though. Eudora, you have to admit, is far less "clunky." Only thing that could ruin it: "This page best viewed with Microsoft Internet Explorer" or "Use the power of ActiveX to read your email." Those phrases are just an invitation for an insulting email. No? B-)

Brian: According to the pundits in the industry, microsoft's purchase of hotmail is an attempt to lure people with free options and then pass them onto some paying/fee options which will generate additional revenue for Microsoft. I think this is an attempt by Microsoft to gain 9 million members who will form a captive audience for marketing shills from microsoft. As far as Eudora IMHO this product doesn't add a whole lot of value currently to QCOM. In any case Hotmail access is thru any web browser, so potentially Hotmail users are not using Eudora anyway.
