We've seen the transition from MSN Hotmail to Windows Live. Now Microsoft is taking the next big leap in their free web-based email service and it's called Outlook. Outlook's look and feel should come to no surprise to Hotmail/Live users. The only real difference is the sleekness of the Windows 8 Metro style feel.
The focus point of Outlook is your email, and it does a good job of doing that. The search feature is great to look up e-mails. Start typing, and like Google Search, it'll bring up suggestions of what you may be looking for within your inbox.
The new interface is sleek and clean. Even the ads are clean cut! With Metro inspired style, Outlook brings a great, not so clutter feel. Outlook can also sync with you favorite social networks like Facebook and Twitter to get not only your contacts, but also your photos! And no surprise here, it has Skype integration.
