Damn i dont have Hotmail anymore, looks like it was replaced by a new sexy thing called Outlook...

www.hotmail.com doesnt even open anymore only if i sign out, if i dont sign out it goes directly to Outlook.

My hotmail is my Windows live, so no difference to me whatsoever, however when I went to hotmail.com on a school computer, it took me to outlook, ugly as hell, but the interface when I logged in looked the same as hotmail.

Actually this one is extremely sexy, i love the new design.

The times killed HotMail.

Just like a rock weathers in the wind, snow, and water.

Yeah it is... and hotmail today is a lot better than most people realize. 

Outlook.com is really great though. Anyone with hotmail can access it and people can choose to upgrade to it and migrate all their emails, contacts and skydrive stuff or just keep using hotmail.com.

I have used Hotmail since 2006 but it is not as responsive these days as it used to be. Page loads too slowly and sometimes show error message.

I changed to Gmail last year and it is very fast. I just forwarded my Hotmail to Gmail so that I don't have to open Hotmail again.

Ok, it looks great but I don't care about looks. I count quality with my watch, if I can do something currently  in 5 seconds, I require that future email can do that in less than 5 seconds. If it is slower than current email, then it worse email. Plain and simple. Slower=worse, faster=better, everything else means absolutely nothing to me.
