July was the month in which Microsoft launched Outlook.com, your new e-mail service and replacement of the popular Hotmail. In only 4 months, the company has had great success with your new website. The same has not only been named one of the year's best, but now even has 25 million users.
Microsoft has found that approximately one third of those 25 million are Gmail users who are testing their new service. Intrigued by these numbers, the company enlisted the help of a research firm, which ultimately yielded interesting results: 4 out of 5 Gmail users who have tried the service for five days would switch to Outlook.com. The study found that users are happy with the design of Outlook, as well as its ability to block spam and easy to share photos and Office documents.
It's clear that Microsoft plans to give competition to Gmail with Outlook again, and in fact in the next week I will be introducing enhancements and new features to the site, as well as launch an app for Android.
