No, the COL107-W2 ([65.55.34.7]) server is the HOTMAIL smtp server which is delivering the message on your behalf, it doesn't have anything to do with the computer you are logged in to whilst using Hotmail through a browser.
It's possible that Exchange server, Outlook etc. could very well keep track of the local computer that sent a message and put some of that info in the header, but that's not the same as browser-based webmail.

"COL107-W2" is the servername? I've seen alot of these, also in variations where "COL" is "BLU" or "BAY" for example, is there any difference?
The computer name is only included when sending mail from a mailclient such as outlook express?
Is there any way the recipient can find out my computer name or username with data in the header?
