Outlook.com: an all-new Metro style Hotmail with Skype video calling

If you thought Microsoft was done with its summer announcements then think again. The software giant is unveiling a brand new preview version of Hotmail today — Outlook.com. Although the old version of Hotmail will remain active, Outlook.com brings together all of its best features and more, accessible via the web, Exchange ActiveSync compatible clients, and POP3. Existing Hotmail users can upgrade to the preview version today — with options to rename an existing @hotmail.com address to @outlook.com or to add an additional alias to an account — and new Outlook.com users can pick an @outlook.com email address. Like Office 2013, Microsoft is describing its new email service as a "modern" one. Built with the same Metro design as Windows 8, Outlook.com brings together cloud connected accounts, data, and a familiar email service with a new look. Microsoft is also enabling threaded messaging by default and introducing Skype video web calling. "We think that email can do a lot better than webmail," says Microsoft. "We decided it was time for a change."

I remember when we had a thread on here for the @live.com email addresses. We all got infracted for posting "personal details" when we posted the email addresses we got.

Anyway, I'm claiming a few emails for myself. Currently got my [email protected] (my initials) and a few others.

[AlexHenry]

Got my name on it. :D

[Fifty-Six]

Not sure if I'll make the formal switch over from Hotmail yet... still have so many things currently linked to my current email.

I don't get why you'd need to make a new account just because hotmail's being upgraded - hotmail accounts are still going to be used on this and have no differences whatsoever so surely changing your actual email address just means annoyance for all your contacts :P

[Martin]

Casually taking over the world, donate all your 'Shorty' names to me <3

[N!ck]

Just grabbed [email protected] probably won't use it though as I use my own domain.

[Repair]

Couldn't get Sam or Samuel so I decided on Samual :D

[AlexHenry]

Won't use them but I got first name and last name and [email protected] :) - initials of first, middle and last name. :D

[HotelUser]

It's great and all, but it took Microsoft a long time to finally update their email service to be comparable to GMail. It took Apple a long time to offer users email too. I'm just worried that Microsoft and Apple wont be as willing to update to the successor of IMAP upon, and to continue updating their web interfaces as frequently as Google does, so I think for the most part I'll stick to gmail.

[CrazyColaist]

looks exactly like windows 8 mail app.

[Jack!]

looks exactly like windows 8 mail app.

Pretty sure thats the point.

[peteyt]

Won't use them but I got first name and last name and [email protected] :) - initials of first, middle and last name. :D

I don't get why people are registering and then claiming their not going to use it. If your not going to use it (a few others have said this to) don't make an account and someone else can have the name.

[AlexHenry]

Just wanted to get some good names.

[peteyt]

but if your never going to use them why bother. It's like me buying personal domains that I never plan to have any content on really. I'm just going to stick to my hotmail email address (but using the outlook service). Had it since 2003 and its easier to keep it

[Recursion]

Got [email protected], will probably be using it seeing as it's half decent :)

[thunderheck]

It also came with an reference about the much hyped xbox 720.
