Hotmail
-
contrary to what other definers have said, hotmail was not started by microsoft. it was started by an individual who had an idea of making a free email service available through the web. microsoft acquired it years later (1999, maybe). originally running on [unix] servers, it was moved to a windows [architecture], which is why hotmail had less reliable service in the first year or two that microsoft [owned it].
