Nothing new! my msn pop3 account is over ten years old. The server names
have changed fairly recently,but it's more or less the same old pop3
service.
The @msn.com addresses, hotmail addresses, and "live" addresses all work for
mail sent to the servers. There was a time frame when MSN decided to
"encourage" customers to transition from the pop3 service to hotmail. A
fairly large number did not, and told MSN that they (for various reasons)
did not plan to change.
One of the more perplexing problems with pop3 and some IPs is that port 25
is blocked, forcing the user to utilize the IP's mail server. There are some
setup methods
that allow this, and the IP's server can relay? email to the msn servers.
Recently, MSN expanded the ports list that can be used as alternates to port
25, if an IP allows the additional ports to "pass thru", the IP's mail
server can be bi-passed.
(Setup can be a bit of a pain)
"Did you know only recently M$ realized that the best way to allow people to
download their emails from hotmail is to give them access via pop3. Now
this is
what happens when monopoly is allowed to dominate for so long!"

4) By 2032 there will be a 256Bit version of Windows running on at least
one
In fact by next year people will be using Google Chrome OS which is
expected to
be faster, secure and requires no activation. First version will be
available
free of charge for those people who wants to download! .
Chrome will also abandon M$ ways of patching (only if necessary) its OS.
Instead of registering all patches, chrome will just need to unzip the
patches
and copy to the OS folder. that is all that will be required to patch the
system as and when necessary.
Did you know only recently M$ realized that the best way to allow people
to
download their emails from hotmail is to give them access via pop3. Now
this is
what happens when monopoly is allowed to dominate for so long!
The members of the PIGS society will have no one to shout at or abuse or
even
bully on these newsgroups.

3) No new software will be developed for XP or Win 7 long before 2032.
4) By 2032 there will be a 256Bit version of Windows running on at least
one
or more 64 Core processors.
5) By then Windows 15 will have replaced Windows 14 (No version 13, bad
luck) and so on.

Okay..i know i'm probably being media-washed but since I read the xkcd
comic
about year 2038 I did some pathetic research on google. Although the
emphasis seem to be on Unix-based systems....it also mention non-Unix
that
use something like 32-bit to store time something something... Does
this
mean my XP SP3 will become unstable at that time?...Is there any way to
fix
it? Or am I just being hysteric?
I know probably nothing will support XP by then but just to make
sure...since I really love Windows XP (among Windows that is....)..and
I
really think Windows XP and 7 sucks....
