Microsoft to give Hotmail a picture (and highlight) makeover

Microsoft is arranging a Hotmail squeeze occasion in October that may check the presentation of another (and perhaps HTML5-based) rendition of its Web-based email benefit.

Microsoft is welcoming New York and San Francisco press and experts to an October 3 occasion including Hotmail. Here's the welcome:


"We tuned in. We learned. We reexamined Hotmail starting from the earliest stage," says the welcome. "From execution to spam to security and then some, we will test your discernments and show how we pile up against the opposition."

There's no sign past those words concerning what this press occasion will be about. However, I have a hypothesis, in view of tips I got not long ago. I'm supposing this could be the rollout of a HTML5 form of Hotmail - one that would offer disconnected access.


Microsoft's not sharing anything past what's in this email. In any case, the planning would bode well, given the Softies are prepared to begin taking off test works of Windows 8 advanced for tablets. In the previous couple of days, both Samsung and ASUS have been talking up their new Windows 7 tablets that ideally will be Windows 8 good and upgradable. What's more, Microsoft is relied upon to give Build participants a tablet or some likeness thereof (despite everything I hear Intel-based) running the Windows 8 bits.

Microsoft is known to prepared a HTML5 adaptation of Bing that looks a mess like the Bing iPad application. (I'm not clear at this moment if this is a Web website/application or a "local" application... or on the other hand both.) Another application that could truly flaunt what HTML5 applications can do would be Hotmail... particularly whenever combined with a refreshed SkyDrive distributed storage benefit (with perhaps more stockpiling than the 25GB at present advertised).

Google as of late reintroduced disconnected access to GoogleDocs utilizing HTML5 (however just for Chrome program clients running Version 13 or higher), in the wake of pulling their Google Gears highlight over a year back. Microsoft authorities as of late composed a post itemizing Microsoft's interpretation of where the new Google disconnected usefulness misses the mark.

Microsoft conveyed the solicitations to its up and coming Hotmail occasion the day after the organization encountered a monstrous, three-hour Hotmail and SkyDrive blackout. I'm somewhat astounded I didn't get notification from a solitary peruser the previous evening anyplace who was influenced. There likewise was a synchronous Office 365 blackout which Microsoft authorities were ascribing to a DNS issue. Once more, perhaps in light of the late-night timing, I didn't get notification from any of my typical forgiving BPOS or Office 365 clients about any issues the previous evening.

Notwithstanding objection or scarcity in that department, the blackout was a bruised eye for Microsoft's cloud contributions. All things considered, I've had a Hotmail represent a few years now and need to state I've been wonderfully amazed with the overall absence of spam and progressively visit presentation of new highlights.

Anybody have some other suppositions (taught or not) about what Hotmail squeeze occasion one month from now will address?

Refresh: Microsoft authorities are pouring chilly water on my hypothesis and are stating more as of tonight. A representative stated: "This occasion isn't viewed as a dispatch of a rethought Hotmail. The occasion will incorporate a private, fair discourse and new information connected to the reevaluation that occurred a year ago (in addition to refreshes from that point forward), in light of a great deal of learning. You'll likewise catch wind of interesting aggressive viewpoints and some extra news."

I'll be shocked if Microsoft holds a major press occasion with only a little "extra news." I surmise we'll need to hold up until Oct. 3 for increasingly (except if anybody shares more points of interest on what may occur before that).
