this is a good security hint - but no workaround for hotmail users. hotmail
(perhaps only the MS passport service) needs javascript - without it you
only get the following message:

Sign In Access Error
JavaScript required. The browser that you are using does not support
JavaScript, or you may have
disabled JavaScript.

have secure fun, Shalom dann,
NOrbert
