SgtRich is not speaking the truth. This has been going on a very long time. If they were speaking the truth they would
give you a link at Microsoft or MSN where this is said. I have never seen that done.

Now as to your Hotmail issue. I don't think Outlook stores your password. It is stored in a cookie on your machine.
That cookie has a lifetime. How long that is I do not know. I just know that when you move off their domain the
cookie vanishes. So what might be happening with you is that Outlook or you are moving off their domain for whatever
reason and you are losing the cookie. Check this article about configuring Hotmail and Outllook and see if you can
redo your Hotmail integration with Outlook to address this issue:
