I heard they were closing down Hotmail email addresses because of live? Is this true?

I've had my hotmail for ever! I'd hate to lose it.

What Microsoft has done is basically renamed the product lines. What used to be MSN Hotmail is now called Windows Live Hotmail. Same with MSN Messenger and MSN Spaces. Each are now called Windows Live Messenger and Windows Live Spaces respectively.





Hotmail email addresses are still valid.
