That's not quite true.Ever since MicroSoft took-over hotmail. It now requires wincrap to access it.
Hotmail as webmail works very well on just about any OS and/or web browser. I just tried and it was usable on links, as well as on lynx.
And there is even pop3-hotmail gateway for linux that lets you use with just about any email program.
Not that I understand why anyone would want to use that horrible spam-trap as their primary email address...
