Hotmail has been given a makeover, no make that a complete redesign from the ground up. Yesterday I logged into Microsoft's new outlook.com site and it is basically a completely new interface for Hotmail. Everything is there that was there before, only with a new look.
It seems to have permanently switched me to outlook.com and now I get it even when I enter hotmail.com into my browser. Not that I would want to go back to the old style web mail, but it would be nice to have a choice. Maybe there is a link somewhere to get back (OK, just found it, it's on the gear icon menu), but I actually prefer the new style.
It is very plain, very simple, and very clean. It is obviously designed to fit in with Windows 8 and it looks just like a new Start screen app. There is already a Windows 8 Start screen email app that does Hotmail and this simply gives Hotmail through a web browser the same look and feel.
Give it a try, go to outlook.com and switch to the new Hotmail, or Outlook as it is now called.
