Does that mean that I can finally access my hotmail in my linux image in vmware?

I don't know, but still Hotmail is slow. At least, it's not only me who is experiencing that.

Gmail still does the job in less time and now has built in video and voice chatting.

Gmail in my view is by far the best webmail service.

I think they should have allowed this to be an optional upgrade, considering this is a BETA. I'm betting a lot of traditionalists did not want to try out the beta, and hated it when they did get the update.

Nice to know they're fixing it though. However, I find only a few improvements worth upgrading to. I wonder what this means for Hotmail Plus users?

End-to-end encryption for email and files.

If they add the option to change the colour (without having to have a stupid themes) and if they cannot do that, then they add a lot more themes (much better ones - maybe like the new Gmail ones, even though I hate Gmail) Only then, will I be happy!

I do love all the other updates though! I love Windows Live Hotmail, I just know I will get bored of the default blue and would like a nice change of colour, keeping the flair (not a theme)

That's really good. Really. But still...it makes it look even more clear that MSN Premium users have been nixed from any feature upgrades.

I really like the new hotmail. It's incredibly fast, significantly faster than gmail.

I'm looking forward to future updates. Specifically, more themes.
