Hotmail
Hotmail.com started in the early or mid 1990s, when the Internet just started to become popular among everyday people. This site and RocketMail.com were probably the only two sites that offered free web based email accounts. This company remained independent long after RocketMail.com was sold to Yahoo!.
In the end, Hotmail was sold to MSN.com. Unlike its counter part RocketMail.com which was quickly forgotten by most people after it was sold to Yahoo!, this particular domain remains active and popular even today. It was probably due to the fact that it attracted many customers while it was an independent company.
Hotmail and Live.com/Windows Live
Recently Microsoft has announced plans to retool their web application empire under a collective brand name Windows Live/Live.com. Many of the functions of previous Microsoft online services (like MSN.com and Hotmail.com) are being folded into the service gradually, along with newly planned applications like clipboards, contacts, folder sharing and more being implemented over time.
