Grab your Outlook.com email address now...

I signed up for it and all I got to say is... Microsoft has out done themselves... very sleek and easy on the eye design, kudos to them.

Article on the Verge about it... Outlook.com: an all-new Metro style Hotmail with Skype video calling | The Verge (http://www.theverge.com/2012/7/31/3201345/outlook-com-hotmail-preview-features-screenshots)

(please remember it's still in preview mode as you will see some hotmail icons from time to time)

outlook.com has almost the same interface as the exchange webmail interface which i think is way easier to navigate through

[InvisibleSoul]

Interesting... signed up just to reserve some email addresses. Not planning on switching from Gmail anytime in the near future though, unless there are compelling reasons to.

[rageguy]

Signed up earlier this morning and managed to get my firstnamelastname@outlook.com. Feels so lucky!

The interface is great. Very Metro-ish, in line with the upcoming Windows 8. I'm very excited for the launch.

you can also just log into your old hotmail.com account and rename it to a new outlook.com and it will migrate over as well.

[muteki]

Hmm.. reversed some email addresses as well. :3

[FerrariEnzo]

How do you do that? I can't find it.

On the top right hand corner, you'll see "Options." Click on that and you'll see the Outlook.com upgrade.

[ZenZa]

Sweet, now I have firstnamelastname emails for gmail and outlook.

Not a big fan of having numbers in email addresses.

[kwy]

Sweet, got firstnamelastname as well. Took me forever to come up with a gmail acct because everything was taken.

[lilaznviper]

go to outlook.com and log into your hotmail from there. It will auto upgrade when you do that.

[FerrariEnzo]

i did make
getfreestuff@outlook
freebies@outlook

[Tim Budong]

[TOPEC]

so whats different abt this outlook when compared to others except for the interface? how much storage space is offered and whats the email size limit one can send out through outlook?

[Jmac]

Got firstnamelastname@outlook.com as well. Plus others :)

[JesseBlue]

Outlook.com Walkthrough - YouTube

Storage space is unlimited. Attachment size default is 25MB anything larger seemlessly sends through their skydrive up to 300MB per.

[Hehe]

So... a GMail with a different skin? welcome to 2002 Microsoft.

[Euro7r]

Signed up with first and last name =D

[Graeme S]

So I now have outlook associated through my main hotmail account (shut up, it's my legacy account which I still use for MSN/WLM...and revscene), but now it's doing that whole "Hey, let's have your MSN messages here too!"

Anyone got any idea how to log out of the messenger but NOT the email client itself? Do not want.

[Graeme S]

update: Seems like I need to sign out through my actual MSN window. Damn you, futurism.

[Slifer]

Not a big fan of the new format. :alone:

[Ikkaku]

@ Graeme - yeah that is such an annoying function. At least with the old hotmail, you can just disable messenger from the window, while as you can only go invisible with outlook.com

[Graeme S]

So the WLM thing has really been bugging me, and I emailed Microsoft. They told me to go to the Live Feedback thingie and submit a "feature request" for a logout option.

If there's anyone else who is highly annoyed by this, follow this link: https://feedback.live.com/ and tell them to add a 'do not ever connect to my WLM account in outlook' or something similar.
