Did you get your outlook.com email?

Say goodbye to hotmail.com and hello to outlook.com.  Microsoft has recently overhauled their email service leveraging the "outlook" name.  What makes outlook.com different?  The new email service makes managing email more streamlined with features such as one-click clean up, easy sorting rules and a safe way to unsubscribe.  The email service allows one to share photos.  It also automatically links with social networks such as Facebook.  Instead of signing out of email to "like" a friend's post- you can now do it through your Inbox.   Smartly designed, it also links with alternative email accounts such as gmail so you can send emails on behalf of other accounts.  The new interface is clean and easy to use.  Surprisingly, hotmail remains the leading email service worldwide (although yahoo and gmail prevail in US). 

The new outlook.com is meant to declutter the Inbox in a very short period of time.  I got my outlook.com email- did you?
