    Default New Hotmail interface?

    What do you all think of the new Hotmail (err. Windows Live Mail) interface?

    I'm liking it smooth transitions even on my dated hardware. My only beef is MSN messenger automatically opens my inbox in IE even though FF is my default browser.. I smell a conspiracy to swash the fox.

    At any rate, I still like gMail better though.

    It definitely looks a lot better, though I don't use it, just to make a new MSN account I had to use it, was a nice change.

    Am I missing something? Mines the way its allways been the damn blue. It hasnt changed in a long time, do you have to signup for a live account or something to use it while its in beta?

    I tried live once back with the beta, the first thing I did was find a way back to the "old" version.

    And now I live by gmail, it's nicer.

    I don't find Gmail to have much of an interface. It's plain and simple, I think many prefer that over a graphical interface.

    it's exactly why I like it, I find it annoying to try and turn email into something flash with too many features and graphical stuff.

    I like gmail because it's clean, plain and simple. It's not annoying in any way and it loads faster than hotmail.

    Gmail even loads for me at times when my net is so slow/bad that regular pop email or sites wont load!

    Same here. I found out the hard way though that if you don't log in to Hotmail every so often that they'll terminate the email account and purge the messages. The address will still work for Messenger but the email is gone.

    Targetting a small percent of users to catch errors before unveiling to everyone perhaps?

    Originally it was opt in you had to click a link to "try the beta". My second account was automatically updated to use the beta.

    If it wasn't for MSN I wouldn't even use hotmail.. Some of my MSN contacts insist on emailing me via MSN, most of my moderators use MSN it's a real pain the arse trying to keep administrative emails in order between my domain email and hotmail

    I guess that's the whole point of having a messenger with email features. None of them let you specify a mail client for mailto links.

    I wonder if there's anyone without a Gmail account? At least in the webmaster field.

    that's really strange. Apart from Gmail, I have found hotmail having best spam protection provided you have not said yes to ANY of their newsletter/signups list that pops us while you created your account and set spam filter to enhance (or something similar) level. My account is nearly 5-6 years old and I very rarely get any spams

    I like it, it's slower than Gmail and has lots more ads but it's way better than the older one..
