ha ha! I have both msn and hotmail accounts (several in fact). key reason is msn seems more professional and gives a better impression. hotmail sounds cheap, free and childish. giving out a hotmail address sounds like asking someone to go on a date, msn sounds professional. Kind of like aol makes you wonder why someone is still paying that kind of money for poor service. the tag lines make a difference depending on what you are trying to accomplish. As to the original question, msn is no longer free so hotmail it is...sorry. I would suggest contacting msn directly if you really have to have it.
Posted by: Leeta at March 27, 2009 8:11 PMThe reason I like msn and want an email address to end with msn.com instead of hotmail.com or q.com is pretty much in line with the comment posted by: Leeta on March 27, 2009 8:11 PM. Additionally, I would comment that the spam filtering is something that seems to work best with the msn system. I've cancelled other email domains because of experiencing terrible spam filtering. If you don't want to have to filter through 75-100 spams, then msn or hotmail seems to be the answer for me. I also don't get the chance to check email more than once per day, because I actually work for a living, so to sift through email for legitimate messages is taxing. Msn instead of hotmail seems more mature and professional for those of us who are over 40, and by the way, some people don't appreciate the under 21 from the neck up attitude nowadays. I have better things to do than text message when someone is having a conversation (that type of rudeness is not acceptable) with me. So, I am the type of person who may prefer a professional look and this comment may help with why msn over hotmail.
Posted by: Cristie at March 28, 2009 6:31 AMI too would like to have an ms.com email account?
Why is it so important - Seems in the past - AOL and MSN did/do not speak to each other!!! Friends are on MSN and we would like to be on it as well!! That's the Big Deal...
Thanks, Leo.
I set up an msn.com e-mail account just now using the link that reader GT provided. It is still free of charge
Posted by: Sheila at April 1, 2009 1:47 PMBe sure to check out the "Update" in the article which includes the link that, as of this writing, still works to get you a free "@msn.com" email address.
Even after all the comments I still don't get most of the arguments about why it's so important to some people. msn.com and hotmail.com are provided by the same company, have pretty much the same (poor) reputation among professionals, and use the same servers and technology. There's very little difference between them in any practical sense.
