What ARE you smoking?

First of all, no one would EVER use Hotmail anywhere if it took a long time to load the welcome screen. What about the rest of it all? Are you supposed to like take a lunch while it loaded in your estimation?

For what it's worth, Live ID works fairly fast. We're talking 5 - 7 seconds for the ENTIRE log in process. That's from the point where you press Enter after typing www.hotmail.com to the point where Hotmail Today appears on the screen. The 1st time you go there might take an extra few seconds to type in your email address and password and changing the settings for the site.

Maybe if you're one of those fossils still using a 14.4k modem - it might take a while to send the data over and get a response... But not anywhere else that has decent bandwidth.
