A Web-based e-mail service from Microsoft that is available free or paid based on message storage capacity. Formerly Hotmail, MSN Hotmail, and, for a brief time, Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Hotmail integrates all 250 million+ Hotmail users into one service under the Windows Live umbrella. The Windows Live Mail title was later given to an e-mail client for the desktop (see Windows Live Mail). See Windows Live.
