CNN) -- Intermittent problems kept some users of Microsoft's popular MSN and Hotmail Web sites from accessing their accounts Tuesday.
"MSN Hotmail experienced limited technical difficulties affecting a small set of accounts," Microsoft said in a statement. "We apologize for the temporary service disruption and any inconvenience this may have caused a portion of our customers."
The cause of the outage was being investigated.
"Our information indicates that the majority of customers were unaffected by this disruption," the statement from Microsoft said. "We take any service outage very seriously and work to resolve all issues as rapidly as possible."
A spokeswoman for Keynote Systems, which tracks the performance of Internet backbones from the 25 largest U.S. metropolitan areas, said the company had not detected any major disruptions to MSN's service.

for the record - this is one more reason i am trying to move away from hotmail to yahoo. hotmail ALWAYS seems to have these problems. also - at yahoo you get a 4k box - or 2 times as big as hotmail. and yahoo almost never has problems going down. also - hotmail's spam control - SUCKS! i log on and find 50 new e-mails in my inbox - of which at least 48 are spams. and this is in addition to the 100+ spams in my junk mail box. yahoo is much better at spam control!

are are soo right, sir. The only problem is that I've had the same hotmail addy for about 8 years. Its kind of like that cell phone plan you're dying to change, but cant because you dont want to lose the number. BUt like you said, hotmail sucks.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
***for the record - come november a new regulation goes into effect that now allows you to KEEP your cell phone number if/when you change cell phone companies. i have verizon now - but when this goes into effect - maybe i will switch. i have a friend who works for verizon and some time ago he got me a really cool number. the last 4 digits of my cell phone is my first name - which really helps when i give it out. and as you can imagine i don't want to give up this number - and in november....
