Comments on: Microsoft’s Outlook Hotmail combination makes little sense http://news.techwhack.com/684-outlook-hotmail-combo News from the Tech and IT World Wed, 25 Nov 2009 13:03:06 -0700 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Brandon Paddock http://news.techwhack.com/684-outlook-hotmail-combo#comment-1035 Brandon Paddock Tue, 25 Jan 2005 00:30:40 +0000 http://news.techwhack.com/684/outlook-hotmail-combo/#comment-1035 Are you kidding? I love this offer. When my free MSN Premium subscription runs out, I'm planning to switch to Outlook Live. It's cheaper and offers all of the features that I use. Having my calendar, contacts, and e-mail sync'd everywhere (my desktop, laptop, online via MSN/Hotmail, my smartphone, computer at work, etc.) is invaluable. Sure, it'd be nice if it were cheaper... but right now it costs what, $45 a year? That's just a few bucks a month for what is basically a hosted exchange server with 2GB of storage. The only question about it I have is whether I'll still be able to use the Outlook Connector to get e-mail from my other MSN accounts. With the Premium subscription you get up to 10 secondary accounts, all of which can sync with Outlook. Are you kidding?
