Does Hotmail Track Ip Addresses Accessing My Account?

Does Hotmail offer a similar feature to Gmail's "Last Account Activity"?  I'd like to know if there are other computers accessing my account either when I'm not or simultaneously while I am accessing mine.  Thanks.

Requests for more information

No, I do not believe Hotmail provides a log of user accesses to your account. This is one of the many reasons I have changed to Gmail!

I researched this question myself a few months ago, and the best I could find was this correspondence between another user and Microsoft support. Either the support people were not very smart, or they were simply avoiding the question:
