Anyone else notice that you both compared server sizes? This sounds like "mine's bigger than yours" ... wait, it IS that advanced argument.
BLUF: Hotmail is not secure in itself, let alone that it's free. Thinking that it is is stupid. Period.
Why would you think that Microsoft (that has serious vulnerabilities found monthly (hence the patching)) would put more/equal effort into securing it's FREE product than it's PAY products (Windows Desktops, servers, productivity systems, etc)?
Dude, seriously? So you're one of those that believe MAC has only like 5 existing viruses, that UNIX is not a playground to hackers and that Steve Jobs will ensure that no viruses/malware could possibly hit you when you're on the IPAD? Because if you believe that, I've got a LOT of beachfront property for you in Tornado Alley.
Why not declare cyberwar and ask for $billions from Congress. Congress is used to pissing $billions away on something that catches headlines. "Cyberwar" is easy to pronounce, remember and headline. And the $100k do-nothing contracts - he's not kidding, they exist - I've personally worked with people who not only do practically nothing, but have no skills if they did somehow get motivated.
Sarcasm off - the USG needs to focus on using what we have to the max vice buying new shit. Focus on quality control, quality hiring and active management - vice foolishly trying to emulate "Best Business Practices" because it sounds professional. And Siemens just got away with selling a ball of schleck to the idiots who'd buy it - so remember that they're incompetent and stop buying their gear ... wait, Washington's BIG on name recognition, so that'll never work! (okay, sarcasm came back).

Why not (sarcasm follows)?
