Goodbye "Hotmail" Microsoft is Renaming it to "Outlook.com"

Microsoft popular Email service "Hotmail" is now officially called "Outlook". The New website for the service is Outlook.com, it changes the design and layout of Hotmail to bring it more in line with the minimalist design aesthetic of Windows 8 Metro, emphasizing straight lines, thin fonts and white space.

Don't worry, If you have a Hotmail Plus account, that still works with Outlook Plus, and you won't see any ads, ever. The right side is blank in your regular view, and when you click on a newsletter, you'll simply see the option to search for the sender on Bing.

With no message selected, the only "action" item available is to compose a new message. Also note the text ads to the right of the Inbox.
