Recieved suspect email from Microsft Hotmail about deactivation

I received an email from "Microsoft" that automatically went into my Junk folder stating "This email is from Windows Live Customer Care. We are sending it to all account owners for account upgrade. We are experiencing network congestion due to anonymous registration of email accounts. To prevent this, we are shutting down unconfirmed accounts and your account is scheduled to be deactivated. " Then it asks for my email info and password.

Is this a scam?

I use this account for business so I CAN NOT have it deactivated.
