I had been using Hotmail when I started using Internet and emails, but now I use Microsoft Push as I need to reply to my emails while I am travelling. After the launch of GMail, most of the Internet users switched to Google’s email service, which is with real difference.
Hotmail has announced that Hotmail will be more fast and will be having better features soon. They say that it will be 70% faster and will be more secure, less spam and better virus protection. These are some features which an email user expects. The user interface will be much better, like the Microsoft outlook, you will be able to read the email without opening it or loading a new page. New themes will be available to change the looks according to your taste. Again looking into the usability part, you will be able to get the contact help as you start typing the email address at the To text box. Other features will be sending instant messages right from Hotmail and increased storage space.
Changing email ID’s are pain, so I am not sure how this will help in increasing the number of users of Hotmail.
