MS launches Outlook.com

Improvement or just more confusion ...
Well, we had Outlook Express POP email on Windows XP, Windows Mail POP email on Windows Vista, Live Mail POP email on Windows 7 and Mail IMAP (not POP) on Windows 8. We also have Outlook as the email package (POP & IMAP) in all versions of Microsoft Office. Now we have Outlook.com as Microsoft's web mail service (that used to be Hotmail). Are you confused yet? 

Microsoft officially launches Outlook.com to replace Hotmail:
outlook5Microsoft’s Outlook.com cloud email service has been officially released and will replace the popular Hotmail web mail which boasts more than 300 million users. Outlook.com has been available in preview mode since the middle of last year but the official version is now available to users and comes with a fresh new design and intuitive features. Existing Hotmail users will be automatically migrated to Outlook.com within the next six months but users can still retain their same email addresses and passwords while still enjoying the new look and feel.
