We recently ran a pilot with some students from our 13 thousand student base. Our reports show: 69% Hotmail; 13% Yahoo!; 10% Gmail.
I'm glad I don't live where you do. Seriously. I would hate to be surrounded by that many people who don't know how to look past their nose.
I have a reasonably popular app and I was stunned to see how much Yahoo and Hotmail addresses dominate. Very different from my friends circles.

As opposed to being surrounded by people looking down their nose?
There's nothing wrong about wanting to live near other early adopters.

I have both a gmail and hotmail accounts and I use Hotmail because it works, gets less spam, and I think google knows enough about me as it stands. Gmail does have a nicer interface but that's about it IMO.
That seems strange. I've had a gmail account since the first open days of the beta in 2004, and never get spam in my inbox. Their spam filtering works extraordinarily well for me.
My previous experience with Yahoo (pre 2004) was much much worse. I haven't use Hotmail though, and as I seriously doubt Apple's technical skills when it comes to cloud services, I don't feel safe to put my @me.com address anywhere public.
I have a hotmail account but i have not used it for years since gmail. So technically am I a user of hotmail ?
If you don't login, it's not counted. If you don't log in for over a year then the account would be deleted.

I suspect there's a strong correlation between the email account host and the place on the early adopter curve. There's nothing wrong about wanting to live near other early adopters.
This whole conversation is disgusting. It's an email account. But since it's ubiquitous and mainstream, now it turns into this weird cultural thing where we have to make sure we have the right email account, lest we look like one of them.
Repeat after me: it's an email account. Not a reflection on your identity.
