Got both of my accounts on the new look now :( One has been up since last week, my other account since today.

Must say i don't like it at all. The fonts are way to big. The ad-space is way more standing out now.

If i could, i would switch back directly!

EDIT: Got the font size fixed in my IE settings, looking much better now!

I cant use adblock plus now as im using flash player 10, adblock plus doesnt seem to support it :$

Microsoft does seem to be over the top with their ads, especially with the amount of profit they get.

Im not that keen on the new live hotmail UI, its slimmed down from the old one, but it feels too empty now and the fonts are too big. i dont really use it as my main mail client now though, i switched to GMX about 4 months ago for their mail collector features.

Firstly I have to rant that they are still tagging emails with adds for Live Services in outgoing email when sent via web interface. :angry:

I'm still waiting to get updated. :( Is there any possibility it could have something to do with the fact that I llve in Canada?

I am currently living in Canada and have the updated mail interface (but have the live.com email domain). Depends on what server your email is on.

bl122 Now updated.

My account currently lets me switch back to the old style by...

  • Login to Livemail / Hotmail
  • Click on "Windows Live" on the top right, will take you to home.live.com
  • Click Hotmail from that page. Your email now uses the older mail interface for that session.

Shame the new look hotmail does look like the other live services skydrive, live home, spaces etc...

Mine updated about a week ago and since then i have not been able to open my emails i can log in fine but when i click an email to open it it comes up loading down the bottom but nothing happens? I have tried IE and firefox both do the same thing. I have tried 3 different accounts and they all do the same thing. Can someone please help? I haven't been able to read my emails for a week and its getting really annoying.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts

      By Max Norris · Posted

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
