RIP Hotmail

By Susan Duclos

As of Thursday, all Hotmail accounts had been migrated over to  Outlook.com. officially marking the day Hotmail died.

Your Hotmail account will stay the same – people can continue
emailing you at [your address]@hotmail.com – but the interface and
experience no longer have a thing to do with the Hotmail name.

Outlook.com announced two new
features today that Hotmail users can take advantage of right away.
These are Simple Mail Transfer Protocol, a popular and device-friendly
standard for receiving your email, and deeper integration with SkyDrive,
Microsoft’s cloud storage solution. Instead of sending an attachment
from your hard drive, for example, it’s now a snap to send a file stored
in your SkyDrive.
