  wow the hotmail team are hearing us all loud and clear :) wat a great team they are!

• DN2004

  :) Nice

• Chris

  Yep. If you really do have any feature requests shout them out here.

• DN2004

  The ability to sync my calendar with my windows live hotmail plus account is needed… they allow it with MSN premium and allowed it with Hotmail Plus but not Windows Live Hotmail Plus

• rhann

  auto reply,, great for letting criminals know your on holiday and that your house is empty

• Nick

  Bay102 is updated, with Wave 2.0 theme as well.
  Bays 117, 124, 137, 143 still the old version

• aho

  is there anywhay i can change from bay 117 to 102?

• quikboy

  Windows Live Calendar? What’s taking so long?

  I thought they would have (or should have) integrated it in Live Hotmail by now. Still don’t understand why they didn’t do it before coming out of beta, but it isn’t too late to do it right now.

  Not that I use it, but I was kind of hoping the whole thing would be feature complete by now. Kind of a letdown to see the old MSN Hotmail calendar UI in your Live Hotmail.

• cleitondj

  bay 102 updated!! cool, i have 5gb in the box! _0/

• DN2004

  Bay 120 hasnt been updated yet, shame you can no longer change bays

• aho

  well as i cant change bays :-( can someone please take a screenshot so i can see!

• DN2004

  You used to be able to change bays, its annoying you no longer cannot. A screenshot would be fantastic as Aho said :)

• rhann

  i will be getting 10gb yippee, but do I actually need it????

• aho

  There is also this message on the MSN uk homepage:

  “Get ready: Hotmail.com is changing to Mail.live.com
  - A brand new look from tonight, but still with all the same features
  - Don’t worry: none of your saved mails or contacts will be lost”

  So overall, it soulds like a lot of changes are being done!

• boldfire

  Not on 126 yet, any screenshots?

• Alber1690

  Well it just seems to be getting worse for MSN Premium customers… Not only do we not get to use the new and beautiful UI, but I still only have 2GB…how great is that? And to make it worse, Microsoft keeps telling me about something I can’t have. (http://albertceo.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!3A485499112E425D!709.entry)

• boldfire

  aho, the link they have goes to live.mail.com :D silly microsoft, doesn’t even know their own URLs ;-)

• Alber1690

  117 is definately still not updated, I’m living proof of the hell I’m still in, and I’m paying for it too.

• aho

  boldfire, i noticed that mistake thay made with the URLs. How could they make such a big mistake, on all three URLs!

• cleitondj

  hello friends!

  screenshot of my windows live hotmail updated.. WOW _0/

  Seems like either Bay 117 is down, or they’re currently updating it. I can’t login at the hotmail website…. (http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p101/Alber1690/Screenshots/HotmailError.png)

  LIVE CALENDAR! With ability to subscribe to others’ calendars or RSS feed of calendar (Like subscribing to a University calendar) and ability to sync the calendar to a Windows Mobile Device without having to go through Outlook. We’ve got Live mail on mobile, why not our Live Calendars? Or hell, even a mobile web version of the Calendar would work but we don’t have that either :-(

• Mishraz

  is it done .. I mean .. do all of you have 5 or 10 gb .. cause I dont have it .. when are they going to update it … any info on that…

• Jesper

  Best webmail ever! ;-)

• stephenophof

  Bay 140 isn’t updated yet. :(

  I hope this new Hotmail version will contain many translation fixes.

  The Dutch version is a little bit buggy.

• DN2004

  @Mishraz if you have a look at the official blog, they said it will be a rolling update and will take a few weeks for everyone to be updated.

• G-Z

  in my opinion this is a great update.

  what I really don’t like about hotmail is (beside other things) that they’re deleting all your mails after a certain time without a login.

• Chris

  G-Z I believe that inactivity period you mention is now 180 days, so it shouldn’t be so much of an issue now as it was in the past.

  As mentioned, it might take a week or more for you to receive the update.

• aho

  They have now updated the links on the MSN uk homepage to this:

  “Get ready: Hotmail.com is changing to Hotmail.live.com
  - A brand new look from tonight, but still with all the same features
  - Don’t worry: none of your saved mails or contacts will be lost”

  Eairler on today it said mail.live.com not hotmail.live.com.
  Hotmail.live.com actually works too which it did not a few weeks now so it looks like it will be the new address to access Windows Live Hotmail!

  And

• Spencer

  Great news!

• G-Z

  I know that a 180 days limit for deleting an account shouldn’t be a problem. But somehow I just don’t like the feeling, that all my mails could be deleted, even if this case is very improbable.

  I mean Google Mail doesn’t have such a limit and I don’t know why Hotmail should have it.

• yanverm

  So I will have 10 GB… cool… but a little to much for me at the moment (using about 600 MB for mails ;-) ) But hopefully it will be possible to link it to live skydrive, so you have 10GB or more storrage for data etc. ;-)
  Id, we are still waiting for that live calender, is this 5-10 GB update a trick to keep us quiet about the calender ? :-)
  Oh, I see you’re talking about bay numbers.. have some more that are not updated yet: 107,111,116,119 … (of course, all the bays where I have email adsresses on… yes, so many addresses and non updated… tssss…)

• BV2312

  131 not updated either… does anyone one have a list of what bays are in use by hotmail or is all bays from 101 to 147…. etc?

• mitcha

  105 updated

• boldfire

  Still not on 126, but it didn’t let me log on about half an hour ago so they’re probably doing something to it.

• stijnkoppelmans

  I’m guessing 100-105 is updated.
  114 Not.

• cykotoxik

  Paying customers (Hotmail Plus or MSN Premium) now get 10GB?!?!?

  That is great news if the upgrade actually worked. I still get this dreaded message, ever since beta up to the present, on my main MSN Premium account when I try to upgrade. And MSN Support claims they can’t do anything about it still.

  “Sorry, but it looks like you won’t be able to participate in Windows Live Hotmail at this time.
  This might be because:

  Your account is with one of our partners and has additional features that Windows Live Hotmail doesn’t support yet

  Windows Live Hotmail isn’t available in your area at this time

  You have a parentally controlled account

  Your Windows Live ID indicates you’re under 13″

  Hotmail Team: Instead of offering all these upgrades for the free accounts, how about concentrating first on resolving the upgrade problems for the MSN Premium email accounts of “paying customers”.

• rhann

  maybe you should just get rid of the paid account, it seems to be completly pointless and im now thinking of getting rid of mine

• Vasudev

  Check out the screenshots of Upgraded Windows Live Hotmail at my blog http://vasudevg.blogspot.com/2007/08/new-windows-live-hotmail-screenshots.html

  New features shown in screenshots.

• jonathanyaniv

• yanverm

  Bay 107 & 111 also updated. I supose al these between 100-115 should now be done. The next bays (on monday?) should be 116-120. Enjoy!

• DN2004

  Bay 10 is up and Bays 20, 22, 30, 38 are not.

• Mark

  how do they sort the rolling update is it random or selective because it annoying me as i would really like this updat eto come through on my account and dont want to have to wait any longer i hate the look of windows live hotmail thats why i have used the desktop client since it came out in beta testing.
