At first I thought it was an a feature only available to Hotmail Plus, but I did some digging. I know Microsoft can't be THAT greedy and heartless of a company.

I then found something on the Windows blog post:
http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_live/b/windowslive/archive/2010/11/01/use-hotmail-features-without-changing-your-email-address.aspx

There were several suggestions at the bottom of the page of replies.

Example:
"Easier solution:

1. Login from https://www.mail.live.com

2. Click on the hyperlink "Continue to hotmail"

Thats it."

Another was to select the option to "Automatically use HTTPS..." and then hit "Cancel."

Then an official response from a Microsoft employee:
"@langware and others – we’ve announced support for SSL, but we have not yet rolled it out. It’s coming soon – we appreciate your patience."

It seems not entirely ready yet.
