Hotmail Officially Dead According to Microsoft.
Microsoft announced on Thursday, May 2, that Hotmail will no longer exist after they have finished transferring all Hotmail accounts to its newer email system Outlook.
“Today, we’re excited to announce that we’ve completed upgrading all Hotmailcustomers to Outlook.com. Coupled with the growing organic excitement for Outlook.com, this has pushed us to over 400 million active Outlook.com accounts, including 125 million that are accessing email, calendar and contacts on a mobiledevice using Exchange ActiveSync.” Microsoft wrote in a blog post.
But Hotmail account holders need not to worry as the old accounts will still be active though the interface of the old system is officially dead. It also offers new features like SkyDrive Integration.
