Microsoft renames Hotmail to Outlook, adds Metro layout and Skype

love it. it's clean and runs without ad at the moment. I've been using hotmail before gmail even come out, and honestly it's been a while since MS revamp the free hotmail UI so it's a welcomed upgrade for me.
 
I have had several hotmail accounts FOREVER and I recently secured a unique @live.com email address. I DO NOT want an outlook.com address and WILL NOT use it. If I wanted outlook I would use outlook on my computer. I will move all my accounts to g-mail and microsoft can take a great big jump in the lake!
If MS takes a big jump in the lake, what OS will you be using then?:)
 
Not bad, but then again I extensively use Outlook as my primary mail client, so to have similar interface for new mail service make sense. Not sure how one of the commentators said 'it looks like gmail' as simply put it doesn't.
 
I hate it! AND it wont let me revert back to how it was!! Messenger is no longer incorporated either. Also, why does FaceAche need to be included with everything!! STUPID
 
Re. "If MS takes a big jump in the lake, what OS will you be using then?"

Several Linux distros, BSD, Haiku, UNIX, Icaros, OSX, etc. etc. :)
 
Why is it I can send myself an email from my outlook.com address to another email address of mine but when I reply, it says
"This is an automatically generated Delivery Status Notification.

Delivery to the following recipients failed.
& it shows my *************@outlook.com
& it goes on to say' Final-Recipient: rfc822;*************@outlook.com
Action: failed
Status: 5.5.0
Diagnostic-Code: smtp;550 Requested action not taken: mailbox unavailable (-949396564:3735:0)
????
 
Agrred, they should put up a nonbloatware version of the email. Why subject everyone to their Win8 box fetish bloat!
 
I am totally having issues trying to add my new outlook email.... TO OUTLOOK CLIENT!!!! Really? I'm using Office/Outlook 07 buy seriously? I can't add the Outlook email address to my Outlook?!?!?
 
Oh joy, ANOTHER re-design.

How many times has this happened?

I still have some old hotmail accounts (only one I actually use for certain things) with a ton of history in them, so I don't plan to ever get rid of them, but god, constant re-designs are NOT beneficial to your company's services. Microsoft doesn't understand this.

Google did it to Gmail and upset tens of thousands of people and they still haven't offered the old theme again. We're forced to use Stylish that still doesn't get GMail back to the way it was before, but at least it's not as obnoxious.

The more sites do re-designs, the harder they seem to become to use, and the less I end up using them and even forgetting about them entirely (Fileplanet; which I had an annual sub to)
 
I hate it. Hate all the columns. Hate the layout. Hate the fonts. Just lost an important email I had flagged. When I tried to print the attachment (clicked the paperclip) it disappeared. Have spent the last hour going thru all my junk/deleted & inbox messages looking for it. Gone. Nowhere to be found. Will start using yahoo for everything now. A pity as I've had hotmail as long as I can remember. Now hate it.
