I don't see any commitment expressed or implied that a Hotmail Plus subscription for that $20/yr fee will work indefinitely with
any email client.
What you do receive for that exorbitant fee is a doubling of the mail box size(10Gb vs 5 for free), no ads from other companies,
larger file attachments 20Mb per email, and no expiration due to account inactivity.

One additional feature without a cost increase was added in Sept 2007 but also not exclusive to any email client---Pop3 access.
The decision to delay the deprecation of WebDAV access was announced on May 5th. Even if WebDav access had been deprecated in June
2008, Pop3 access to a Hotmail Plus account was not impacted.
For information on the extent of the $20 annual renewable contract see:

cf. Item 19 through 22
Class action based on an expectation without an expressed or implied commitment may be nothing more than a pipe dream.
