Hotmail is one of the services that were initiated when the trend for email services was catching up fast. The original service was launched in 1996 by its two co-founders, but within a year, it was acquired by the leading computer manufacturer, Microsoft. The bid it made for this service was huge, given it was only a year the company was launched, but Microsoft saw potential in it, and so went ahead with it. It continued to add some of its own services to it too, and as a result, Hotmail is today one of the leading email services in the world with a user base of well over 350 million.
Hotmail email service today offers you a lot of features that simply make your experience with it enticing. Take a quick look at some of them:
Active View: One of the better features of Hotmail, Active View saves you the hassle of switching between different windows, by showing you everything right there in your inbox - Email Text, Pictures, Videos and even a Slideshow.

Integrated Office Web Apps: You can view any MS office document with the help of these apps in a new browser window, and if you want, you can even save them on the Windows Live SkyDrive. By using SkyDrive, another Hotmail-specific feature you can also share your documents of up to 50MB sizes each, totaling up to 25 GB, with other users for viewing or performing other tasks.
Conversation Threading: Now you can check all emails that a part of a conversation as a single email only. Simply click on one, and you would find all the past correspondence in this conversation threaded below in it.
Then there are other features as well like Task Manager, Calendar, Messenger and more that will keep you glued to this service.
Hotmail Support is an important feature itself that Hotmail emphasizes a lot on. Though live help services are not available to free users, but Hotmail Help and Support modules are already there on Hotmail website, which are "self help" articles and include almost all common issues that one could experience. If there is some issue that you feel is not listed, or if there is one that you are not able to understand, you can also send Hotmail an email regarding that.
If you want to stay with your free account, and yet wish to obtain instant Hotmail Support services, you could turn towards other Tech support companies as well, that work independently of official Hotmail Support. These companies deliver similar level of support as Hotmail, but they have a fee on their services. This fee is quite affordable and would often cost you less than having a paid Hotmail account.
You could run a review of couple of these over the internet by comparing them to determine the cheapest and most preferable option of them all.
