I read in this paper that microsoft's passport (required for hotmail and MSN) is not secure, it leakes information, ending up giving hackers the oppurtunity to get credit card information (and you can already imagine how your bank account looks like that afterwards :( )
Just letting you know, if you need some extra security btw, you can reply, I'm working on some internet security and I have some great adresses for firewalls and extra internet security.

Please do come across with info, then. I've done some 'business' using my hotmail addy for confirmation due to my ability to access hotmail from my work.

*worry*

Only thing I can advice you about the microsoft password is that you :
1. Make sure your creditcard number is no longer in your passport
2. Hold Microsoft responsible if you notice your creditcard is used illegally (that means you'll have to sue them)

Sorry, this mail was just to warn you guys & girls, I think that microsoft is working on the extra security anyways, so don't worry to much DM
