I received my Gmail invite at my regular Hotmail account 3 days ago, and after reading this post I tested the system by sending myself an email from Gmail to Hotmail. Both the invite (sent by a friend while I watched) and the test email came through in less than a minute. I also watched two other people receive invites at Hotmail accounts. I'm not sure if other people encountered problems earlier, but this certainly isn't a current problem.
