Thanks everyone.

I thought so but still didnot want to risk loosing my hotmail address, hence wanted to be sure that it was junk.

and for Soniya, yes I do have common sense(Thank you very much) which you, however,seem to lack. Was there any need to answer the way you did? Simple yes or no would have been fine for me.

Do not provide your id or password to anyone even it appear to the same mail box. Do you think Windows team will send you a mail from an id like 'sisterachel_89/-a-t-/hotmail.com'? The mail you recieved is 100% spam. Be careful..!
