Microsoft is finally saying goodbye to its popular web mail service Hotmail. According to latest chunk of information, Microsoft has revamped its webmail service hotmail to Outlook.com, which it claims ‘the modern e-mail designed for the next billion mailboxes’. 

It is reportedly said that Microsoft’s new email service comes with "virtually unlimited" storage. To spice it up for amazing user’s experience, Microsoft has integrated Skype, the popular video chat service that Microsoft bought last year to the new outlook.com. Moreover, Outlook.com aims to clean up the inbox interface and integrate the e-mail client with a range of social networking features along with other services like Microsoft’s own Office Web Apps and Skydrive.

As a matter of concern, it is found, Outlook.com has been designed using Microsoft's Metro users interface.

For the time being, all the users with accounts at Hotmail or Microsoft Live users can log into Outlook.com using their existing ids. 

To the reader’s surprise, outlook.com has seen more than 1 million people sign up for the service in just a few hours. On the other hand, Google remains at the top shot with 425 million users followed by Hotmail, which has approximately over 350 million at the last count.

Analysts believe, Microsoft has launched Outlook.com to take on Google's extremely popular Gmail.
