Is this legit or another scam to get users' username/password?

It's supposedly a new look of the hotmail.com site, but it just randomly comes up. I've been Hotmail recently, and the looks haven't changed at all. I'm thinking something's up with this and don't trust that it's a legitimate hotmail link...

Here it is:
http://loginnet.passport.com/login.srf?id=2&svc=mail&cbid=24325&msppjph=1&tw=0&fs=1&lc=1033&_lang=EN

The one I usually get is this:
http://lc2.law5.hotmail.passport.com/cgi-bin/login

If it's legit then why does it come up randomly for me??

Microsoft owns passport, so yes, this is legit.

You can also login with your msn name

ok, it kinda freaked me out with the layout randomlessly changing every so often!
KLin, how'd you come up with that info? Where did you go to do the registration check against passport.com?

Thx guys, I might be looking like a dumbarse right now, but better to be safe than sorry eh!

While I'm at it though, anybody else besides me having problems logging into hotmail? After I enter my info it hangs forever and does nothing. Uh oh, do I hear someone say "Get a real email dumbarse!" *covers my ears!*

you can do it at any whois search. ALso another way to check if it's valid, try your current username w/ a wrong password...if they're just getting usernames/passwords they wouldn't know if that's wrong.
