Umm... On hitting hotmail.com, my browser immediately starts trying to
fetch things from passport.com, which is unreachable.  Technically,
hotmail wasn't affected in that your redirect to passport.com was working.
But seeing as the main index page brings me here:

http://lc1.law13.hotmail.passport.com/cgi-bin/login

and this domain is served by:

   DNS4.CP.MSFT.NET             207.46.138.11
   DNS5.CP.MSFT.NET             207.46.138.12

I'd have to say most people were not able to access their hotmail account.
I can support this with the tons of calls support got today about "hotmail
being down".

Damn that ICANN.
