Post by LikeLinus »

Anyone like it? I think it's pretty cool, definately a step above what it was before.

I also like the new look...though it does seem just a little too......Windows XPish for my likings, but yes, it is an improvement.

I don't like it. It takes forever to load if you don't have a fast connection. And it looks WAY to cartoony.

I hardly ever use my hotmail account anymore. Just for a few things. So I could care less what it looks like.

THe font is too small, and the jscript crashed IE twice yesterday.

i miss the old look and feel, oh well, i'll get used to it. it reminded me of the upgrade from the old bulletin board to ubb. resistance at first, then we'll get used to the new luxuries.

Looks good, but its a bit slow. It's crashed on me a couple of times already when clicking on my inbox. Guess it'll take a bit to work the bugs out.

I always check my Hotmail with Outlook Express, so I never even look at the Hotmail interface.

There are a few quarks in it that need to be worked out. But i really like the new look and feel compaired to the old one. I just never liked that plain old boring gray, white, brown, beige look. Kinda bland. I've yet to have any crashes or anything, guess i'm lucky!

hasn't crashed me yet... but for most hotmail stuff i use Outlook Express anyway. Dunno what I think of it, the load times for both seem comparable on my modem. I do like the look of it though, I like websites to have that new look. (though program windows are another story)

Totally sucks on iPAQ. Christ, they really used to have something there...now the main mail entry page for my account is a convoluted mess, and it takes a lot longer to download on a 19.2K connection. Plus, who the hell likes to be forced to side-scroll?
