So - actually reading the article ...

The name "Hotmail" is going - in the same way that pretty much every other online mail service has at least once in it's existance. You can keep your hotmail address.
The actual effect on the average user will be - logging into hotmail will redirect to outlook.com where there is a vastly modernised and easier to use interface.

Not exactly a biggie, is it?

outlook is empty only a few messages their, not sure how this is going to be better.

they just updated outlook and hotmail, so it started looking a lot better although i had a few problems, only using ie8, firefox 3.5.7, winxp so maybe that's causing some problems.

plus i can change back to hotmail instead of outlook
