Not quite. MSFP is the
client-side code to support push email. While it does require a ROM update from the carrier or phone vendor, once that's done the device supports push from
any Exchange server running SP2 -- it's just HTTP requests. There's no reason MS couldn't implement the Exchange ActiveSync server protocol in Hotmail, except that it may be significant amounts of work and a cost MS doesn't feel is justified at the moment.
