Microsoft releases Outlook Live

Subscription based products? I hate them, for the most part. In this case, Outlook Live is no exception.

An annual Outlook Live subscription includes 2 GB of server storage space for a Hotmail or MSN e-mail account, the ability to view some other e-mail accounts in Outlook (but apparently not all e-mail accounts), and a continually up-to-date version of Microsoft Outlook. One of the goals of the program is to assess the readiness of the public to accept subscription-based applications, specifically Office applications.

Will it take off or not?

probably not.. especially as it was something that was available for nothing for a fair while..

why do you need outlook when hotmail is free ?
