I'm not sure if it is windows live, but my school, Illinois Institute of Technology - Chicago-Kent Law School uses something called Outlook web access which is functional enough in Firefox on linux and osx for most students at school.
That's the only way to check your email at the school. No pop3 and no imap.
The school says from the 1st day of orientation that all student's laptops must be running winows xp professional. That's right, the school says nothing will work on any other OS and tells students that no support will be provided for anything else. I have a suspicion that they were trained in some MS boot camp and get paid a little bonus to say this to students every year. This results in ~200 sales of XP for Microsoft every year from just one school. At ~$100 each, that's $20,000/yr. I imagine that our school will force everyone to upgrade to vista soon for another big check for MS. Seems to be a great way for MS to force entire groups of people to upgrade to the newest MS OS offering.
