| Nice Job. I'm happy with it. |

| Very disappointed. I direct many people who are not computer savy to obtain a Hotmail account so they don't have to mess with ISP's and an abundance of features (i.e. Outlook). Hotmail's core user group is not power users. This is going to confuse the heck out of many of their customers. The simplier interface was much better I think, and I don't think this is a good upgrade for Microsoft's sake. |

| VERY disappointed! To delete a message after reading you have to go back to the top of the page. They removed the delete, forward, etc. buttons from the bottom of the page. Why doesn't MS think things through before they go and start making changes. |

#7 "You don't find the Standard toolbar with Save, Print, Copy/Cut/Paste, etc. at the top and bottom of any Word processing software, no matter what OS or vendor."
You don't find the toolbar disappearing when you scroll down to read the rest of your email in any "Word processing software, no matter what OS or vendor" either so what's your point? The reason for having those functions at the top and bottom in web-based clients is to allow the user easy access to them. Otherwise they should lock the toolbar at the top so you can always see if whilst you are scrolling (using div's or frames or having the content in a separate scrollable div... whatever you like). |

I was thinking the same thing myself. I got finished scrolling through a long e-mail only to have to scroll all the way back to the top to delete :( Alister |

hmmm...
Try hitting the home key instead of scrolling. Though, I do agree that they should lock the toolbar in so you can always see it. |

Looks good, especially considering it is FREE.
Thanks MSFT. You guys debating the intricacies of the UI, make you sound like a bunch of whiney mac users or something. |

| Do you have to pay for the calendar function? I got the impression from the demo that it was free with regular Hotmail. |

moore, shut up.
First, it's not free if you are one who pays for Hotmail. Two, which is arguably far more important, UI is insanely important. Ever wonder why Microsoft spends billions researching human interface? Obviously not... |

| I agree Bob #19. Moore #16 sounds like the President of the whiney bunch user club. If it's fine with him then everyone is supposed to like it! |
