You might consider doing a security examination of your computer ASAP. While
in the past the spammer often would just put some random email address in
their 'From' line they have now taken to more extreme measures as the IPs
from which they have been sending their crap are being progressively blocked
by SPEWS and other such organisations.
Take a look at this article:

Then I would suggest scanning your machines with AdAware, Spybot and TDS3 to
make sure you have no nasties sitting on them.
You might also consider going onto the newsgroup
news.admin.net-abuse.email.
The people on that group are very knowledgeable about spammers and would
probably be better able to track down who these characters are than will be
Hotmail
