Are there any advantages to the full version of Windows Live Hotmail?

Has anyone else tried this? When you're using Hotmail, at the bottom of the page it asks "Want to race through your inbox even faster? Try the full version of Windows Live Hotmail. (It's free, too)".
Well I clicked it and have been using it for a while but haven't noticed any difference between this and the Classic version other than an ever so slightly different look. The only thing I've noticed is that the full version of Live doesn't have a spellchecker; not really an advantage as far as I can tell! It also doesn't seem to run any faster on my computer than the Classic version.
Has anyone else been using this, and have you come across any advantages or added features?

I am using the full version or as I like to call "new version" and I think it is a little heavy then the classic version. To be honest I think Gmail is far more better in forformance then Yahoo or Hotmail. I have too not seen any differences in between new and the old classic version.

Thanks, I'm glad it's not just me who hasn't noticed any difference. I haven't tried Yahoo or Gmail but I've heard that Gmail is supposed to be really good. I guess I'm just used to using Hotmail as I've been using it for so long so I'm happy to keep using it, but I would have expected at least some extra features from the 'new version', and not a decrease in features, as I have found with the lack of spellchecker. Very strange!
