Will Microsoft Outlook.com Kill Gmail?
Microsoft just
announced its new email service, Outlook.com and it looks like it is
already a super hit. All Hotmail and other Microsoft mail users are already
migrating to it. I have done it also.
Outlook.com is a much improved and better user interface the
Gmail. I got sick and tired of Gmail and was thinking to migrate to something
else any way. This is perfect timing.
To be frank, I grew sick and tired of Gmail. I have been
seeing ads everywhere at the top and right side bar. The message thread was a
mess. It was hard to figure out my messages. Integration with Outlook sucked
and sync was very slow.
How about damn Circles? I don't want those damn circles or
hangouts. I just wanted my plain simple email.
Do you think Google+ and Gmail integration will backfire on
Google and will kill Gmail? I am not sure about you but I am leaving Gmail very
soon.
In a recent news published today, over 1 million users have already signed up for Outlook.com and it is just preview. Microsoft is expecting to have over 1 Billion accounts on Outlook.com.
Time will tell but so far, it looks promising.
I can also tell that Outlook will be the email client on Windows 8. How about that!
