It's such a hassle changing primary email accounts.....
Good job Microsoft, I have never previously even entertained the thought of migrating away from gmail.

My thoughts exactly.

I recently changed my default search engine to Bing to try it out, and I'm liking it. But at the same time, it's just so much more convenient to have my email, gdocs, voice, etc all in one convenient place. frown.gif

So for now, I'm staying loyal to Google.

Just some information, Some people might be using hotmail to log in and it might still look like the old theme. If that happens go to outlook.com sign in there and you will have the outlook theme no matter if you sign in through Hotmail.com or Outlook.com


^ What you mean you changed search engine to check it out. I am using google search engine and i am able to see the new outlook no problem. Unless your talking about something else

Just logged in with my normal Hotmail account on outlook.com, it has a nice interface and works fine with my existing email.

Too bad my Hotmail account is the one I don't care about and usually just use for site logins and stuff.
Too much RAM? Pfft...

The devs are doing an AMA about this on reddit: http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/xgjrw/we_are_the_team_behind_the_new_outlookcom_service/

I registered my email, having my first name as for email address is a luxury biggrin.gif Usually all the names are taken. Not sure if I will use it, I'm currently still on Yahoo redface.gif

If they get IMAP support I might switch.
