New email from Microsoft

[OldGrumpy]

Microsoft rolled out a new web-based email service today. Outlook.com
If you have been blocked from getting user name you wanted on hotmail, gmail, or yahoo - this might be your opportunity.

I set one up with them this morning to get the address I wanted.

I was already logged in to my hotmail account(Windows Live) when I wen to outlook.com, it logged me in took me to a web email interface slightly cleaner than the current hotmail/windows live mail. Unless you are referring to the folder list on the right side, (which GMail has as well) I did not see a sidebar at all.

Using Google Chrome for the browser, I may have turned the sidebar off somewhere else as well, but darned if I can remember where that setting is.

I love MS so much that I'm not even going to go look. Bluh. And I haven't used hotmail since 1999 or so. Used yahoo for a while - and now I'm on gmail and I love it.

adblock on Google chrome taking care of it.
