You don't need Hotmail to use WLM. It will access your POP & IMAP accounts,
just like WM. And it doesn't seem to have the "bugs" that some users are
experiencing.
It seems that MS is putting more resources into WLM, since it has had a
couple of versions released since Vista came out.
I don't know if WM will ever be patched.
I'm currently using Thunderbird, WM & WLM without any problems.
