www.hotmail.com :
Most of the active internet users from 1990s are well aware of “Hotmail.com”. But during the early 21st century, when www.Gmail.com took over the market of webmail services the users of www.Hotmail.com became limited and eventually disappeared. But we can imagine many of the old users with a desire to use their old Hotmail accounts or at least switch from the Gmail for a few days. Before getting into the details like how to open/create Hotmail account, etc. let us briefly know about the history of Hotmail.
Hotmail initially founded for mailing services, Hotmail became widely popular. Later Microsoft acquired Hotmail and began to call it as “MSN Hotmail” and later to “Windows Live Hotmail”. The reason why most of the people nowadays are not aware of Hotmail is that it is replaced or officially upgraded to Microsoft Outlook.
Prior to all these happenings, Hotmail suffered a lot of security issues in the late ’90s and competition from Gmail. When Microsoft introduced www.Outlook.com it enabled most of the Hotmail users to freely upgrade to Outlook. So, if you create an Outlook account now you are indirectly creating Hotmail account (as you know earlier) which is a complete suite of webmails, contacts, tasks and calendaring services.
