The times killed HotMail.

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

still the most used worldwide though.


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.

Here is a promo video

well im using it and i have all my mails there and i didnt nothing... tips?

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.

This mirrors my situation, 'cept replace 2006 with 2003, and it was late 2010 I upgraded to GMail.

Just logged into Hotmail for the first time in over a year and it still works for me.



i cant use hotmail with my account it goes to OutLook...

Not sure why or how if i use other accounts like my brother it goes into hotmail.

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.



This. Gmail is just so much faster and convienient. Functionality>>>>>Features

Maybe it's like Timeline on Facebook. Once you switch to Outlook, you can never go back!

Sounds like you guys are just grasping at straws.

Also this new Outlook mail blows Gmail away in terms of speed.  It blows anything I've ever seen in terms of speed...rediculously fast and simple interface.



Still have my Hotmail, so not sure what happened to you. Actually bothered going on it just to check hehe, usually use my WP to check the emails.



Disconnect and self destruct, one bullet a time.

Wow, I never knew about this thing and now I can't live without it... Thanks guys!
