That's odd. It just did the same thing on firefox browser, but the links work just fine on Internet Explorer. Must be some compatibility issues on the page.

Outlook.com is really cool. Now Gmail looks conventional. :)

I use outlook.com. It is very cool, but it sucks that you have to install the Hotmail Social connector before you can add a Outlook.com-Account to your outlook (yeah, the email software). Strange about that: You can add Apples @me.com mail accounts faster than the @outlook.com accounts coming from Microsoft itself. :sigh:

Yes, I think it's just sad that I still have to download another program to use outlook with Microsoft Outlook.

That's awesome. Not a {fanboy} I just like Outlook.

There have been joys too great to be described in words, and there have been griefs upon which I have not dared to dwell, and with these in mind I say, climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are naught without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste, look well to each step, and from the beginning think what may be the end. - Edward Whymper Climb On!

In a word, Dreadful. In another: Remedial. I miss the access to features and content. I never use my old Hotmail account, other than registering for MSFT demo downloads like VizWebDev Express.

I don't like that messenger starts automatically and you haven't an option to disable this behavior. That's very uncomfortable when I check the mail in my job X|

Coming from Hotmail, i think is a good step forward, but, i don't feel it very different from previous Hotmail, aside that they moved some functionality there and there, and minimalized the UI.

I think it became better to use (at least the web ui) ;) . Now the page loads as fast as you can expect it from a modern web application :-D .

Same thing happened to me using Chrome and Ad Block. Turned off Ad Block for this site and everything displayed ok.

Sounds like a good idea. There is no reason why a web applicaiton cannot be almost like a desktop application with Silverlight. I just wish they would do a good update of Outlook. It really has not changed much in at least a decade. Why not have more flexibility is display of calendar like specify the number of weeks to display, both in month view and weekly view. The time zone handling sucks (there should be immediate default time zone). Location for appointments should be an address object that can come from a contact), and searches can be done one addresses. Think the other office procucts are probably about as good as they can be.

Hey, Marco. what OS are you using? I´m on Win 8 and I didn´t need to install additional software/connectors; the emailprog is included by default... I am very satisfied,my old gmx.de - account is now obsolete... ;)
