Greetings Jeff,,
Windows Messenger will automatically go to Hotmail if you're using an active @hotmail.com or
@msn.com Passport address and you're using Windows Messenger 4.7.2009 or *lower*. Windows
Messenger 4.7.3000 (which comes with SP2) does not have Add-In support and as such, does not
support Hotmail.
If you find yourself in the later category (with SP2), you can simply downgrade back to the
previous version from here:

You'll also probably need the Hotmail Add-In:
