Windows Live Hotmail’s free, Web-based email allows users to access their email from any Internet-capable computer. Logging in to the Hotmail account is enabled through a user’s browser and is authenticated with a username and password. Although confusing to many users, Hotmail is accessible via the Windows Live website. If you navigate to the old hotmail.com address, you are simply redirected to the Windows Live site. However, signing in works the same way, even if the appearance is different.
