Microsoft Officially Launches Outlook.com - Quick Facts

Microsoft Inc. (MSFT) Tuesday said its popular email service, Outlook.com, which was released last summer as a preview, is ready for primetime.

Since the release as a preview, millions of people have actively started using it, going from 0 to 60 million in just six months, the software giant noted.

Outlook.com delivers a beautiful, fresh and intuitive experience on modern browsers and devices, while keeping people connected with their friends and co-workers across the networks they really use.

It provides a smart and powerful inbox to handle email needs including SkyDrive for sharing virtually anything in a single email. Outlook.com also puts people back in control by prioritizing their privacy.

Starting today, Microsoft will begin to upgrade every Hotmail user to Outlook.com in a seamless and instant manner.
