    Microsoft hotmail is notorious for being easy to hack into.Their Internet explorer browser has had many security issues. Windows itself has had many security flaws. The thing is hackers just get more competant all the time.

    What i would like to point out is that this is MICROSOFT, it is supposed to be the best computer software in the world, what a farce, when the problem first occured they were emailed by many telling them there was a problem, if they had shut the site early on, they could have honoured the first lot of winners without disappointing people, but they chose to keep the site dishing out winners for hours, i can shut my website down in minutes if i want to, why cannot Microsoft??? I think they perhaps chose to keep it open knowing that if there was too many winners, they wouldn't have to honour any of them, which tells me when buying Microsoft it isn't really as good as it claims. They should be prepared for hackers, they are Microsoft after all and leaving the site open for hours and hours after a problem is just a joke!!!

    This comp is developed and run by Thin Martian On Behalf of mircosoft they are a digital media company, so its not a microsoft issue in that sense.
    Microsoft is the client! x
    Here is a look at thin martians site, you can see this is there work.

    It still should have been shut down, were not talking a small company either way, Thin Martian will not be a small company working with Microsoft. They let it run for hours, people emailed and left messages, and still its not shut down???? They gave false hope to lots of people, which didn't have to happen. I have no sympathy for them. If my site was sending out wrong information, i would shut it down straight away, they chose not to!! If they know hackers can get to it, or if its happened before, then maybe they should be occasionally checking it, to see that its not hacked.

    I'm clicking but I'm not holding out much hope to be honest.. noone has "won" since 12 so 7 hours seems a bit too much for my liking for it to work.. but I'm on here anyway so I figure a vote every now and then wont hurt :)

    I don't see WHY people carried on voting yeseterday because this is simply a pointless waste of time. However, I totally agree that any company that opts to keep its competitions up during the weekend, should be able to provide technical support and sort out any emerging issues so that people can trust them. It took them a long time to respond even though few, including me, emailed them to draw their attention to the problem.
