The next update of Windows Live Hotmail, Wave 3, has begun rolling out to end users. Currently, Bay: 136 & Col: 102 have been upgraded to Wave 3. Other bays will receive updates in the coming days.
Here are the improvements in the Wave 3:
- No Full and Classic versions. Both are now combined to provide faster and simpler interface.
- Enhanced address book, allowing customers to easily see emails they’ve exchanged with contacts and keep contacts in one consolidated place to use across Windows Live services.
- Ever Increasing Storage – 5 GB to start, with an additional 500 MB per month if customers hit their limit
- Integrated web-based IM with Windows Live Messenger
- Improved spam fighting technologies that significantly reduce spam.
- Integrated calendar features and Outlook Connector.
And here are the screenshots of the new Hotmail : [Screenshot 1] [Screenshot 2] [Screenshot 3]
