I'm a Gmail junkie, so I didn't have to do anything but put in my username/password.

I just tested this with one of my other internet based email accounts. It is a push email, but it's pushed based on the refresh criteria you set. The shortest push interval is 15 mins. It's not immediate, like you would get with a gmail based account, unless you forward your hotmail to a gmail account, and then you are good to go.
