I don't think that is entirely accurate. Access to Hotmail, through OE, was
continued through grandfathered accounts, not sure of the date of the
grandfathering... I still access my hotmail account through OE, and have
been for years.

I believe, in the OP's instance, access to hotmail through Outlook was
broken through the IE7 upgrade.
