Microsoft Relaunches Hotmail as Outlook

Very un-90's though is the addition of social networking into the client, with the likes of Facebook, Twitter and Microsoft's recently acquired Skype. Just how these will play a role is yet to be seen, but this could well be the underlying body of Microsoft's long rumoured social network, which has still yet to be revealed. Among some of the new features included is the ability for the client to automatically group 'Newsletters'. For instance, if you subscribe to a Macworld newsletter, WhatCulture or even TIME, you receive daily bulletins informing you of what's happening in the world. The updated Outlook will automatically gather these into a 'reading-style' list, similar to that used in Gmail. Whether this is going to help the ever flailing Microsoft is another question, but they certainly hope it will.
