Hotmail is Over. Outlook is in !

It is most unlikely that you don't have a Hotmail email address! The reason is it is one of the most popular email service flagship from Microsoft.

The news is that Hotmail is officially over. New look Outlook is in.  It has over 400 million active users as per Microsoft.  It took great efforts to migrate Hotmail users to Outlook.

In addition to an updated mail interface, the new Outlook.com offers a more modern Calendar program as well as improved interoperability with Microsoft's SkyDrive cloud,  a new two-stage user authentication system, an updated app for Android devices and a preview of Outlook's upcoming integration with Skype.

To illustrate just how huge a task the switch was - Microsoft says they moved 150 petabytes of information to the new service in just six weeks. How large is a petabyte? It stands for 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes. The progression goes byte, kilobyte, megabyte, gigabyte, terabyte, petabyte - each 1,000 times larger than the previous amount.

For the end user, the switch should be seamless. Microsoft assures everyone that they will still be able to use their Hotmail address with the new Outlook.com system. 

New Outlook for Microsoft email services looks great with this revamp and uplifting!
