Built with the same Metro design as Windows 8, Outlook.com brings together cloud connected accounts, data, and a familiar email service with a new look. Microsoft is also enabling threaded messaging by default and introducing Skype video web calling. 

Microsoft did a fantastic job on this fresh new webmail interface. It includes lots of neat features like Facebook and Twitter integration and smart folders for photos and shipping notifications. My only gripe would be the large tower of block ads on the right. Half as many ads would have looked much better. Username land grabs don’t happen very often, so go grab a fresh new email address while they are still available.
