Outlook.com, Microsoft’s solution to the outdated Hotmail



Microsoft released its new email client Outlook.com last week in a solution to “an embarrassingly outdated domain address,” Hotmail. It offers users a much needed improved email experience with a metro style for integration with the cloud.

As you can see in the screenshot below, Outlook.com offers a fresh and clean design without all the cluster experienced before. Microsoft also made sure that the functionality lives up to the level of the design. One example of this is that if someone sends a group of photos or videos, Outlook.com displays them in a slideshow over the page. But it doesn’t stop there…

If that someone sends you a link to a photo-sharing site like Photobucket or Flickr, Outlook.com is able to take those photos and show them to you in that same slideshow. Microsoft also goes far enough to compete with Gmail and its documents tab, by allowing you to open, edit and share Office documents within the browser.


 
One of the best features of Outllook.com is that it recognises and cleans all your graymail. These are social media updates, newsletters, daily deals, etc… which you are signed up for but never end up opening and reading. It addresses these problems by filtering them into their own categories, making it much easier to view and clean. And to top it off, they added a built in messaging system with Facebook chat and Skype video chat.
