Windows Live Hotmail Set for May US Release

United States
April 22, 2007 3:07pm CST
Microsoft is preparing to launch Windows Live Hotmail in the United States by next month, although customers in India and Belgium will begin seeing the updates later this week, the company is expected to announce Tuesday. Other Windows Live product updates are also likely. Various sources tell BetaNews that the upgrades won't come automatically, but rather in a gradual process over the next several weeks. Testers in France are currently receiving e-mails saying they will receive the update in several days, with a similar e-mail circulating to UK users. Other smaller markets are likely to receive the updated interface before the US market as the logistics of migrating those accounts are a lot simpler, one source said. This if very interesting I think, I can tell you from testing this product for Microsoft this will be far much better than regular Hotmail email. Keep a good look out all MSN Hotmail email users, here comes Windows Live Mail.

WE have it already. We upgraded our computer and it is already on them. It is nothing important to us. Just better security it seems. Still new with it and as long as I can work effectively I will not complain. I also have Vista now and perhaps it is managing things pretty well for me so that I don't worry over things much. Good luck when you get it.
