Microsoft to give Hotmail a picture (and highlight) makeover

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



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

"We tuned in. We learned. We rehashed Hotmail from the beginning," says the welcome. "From execution to spam to security and that's just the beginning, we will challenge your discernments and show how we stack up against the opposition."

There's no sign past those words concerning what this press occasion will be about. In any case, I have a hypothesis, in view of tips I got recently. I'm supposing this could be the rollout of a HTML5 rendition of Hotmail - one that would offer disconnected access.

Microsoft's not sharing anything past what's in this email. Be that as it may, 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 perfect and upgradable. Also, Microsoft is relied upon to furnish Build participants with a tablet or the like (regardless I hear Intel-based) running the Windows 8 bits.

Microsoft is known to prepared a HTML5 form of Bing that looks a mess like the Bing iPad application. (I'm not clear at the present time if this is a Web website/application or a "local" application... or then again 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 possibly 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 include over a year prior. 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 an enormous, 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 additionally was a concurrent Office 365 blackout which Microsoft authorities were ascribing to a DNS issue. Once more, perhaps as a result of the late-night timing, I didn't get notification from any of my typical lenient BPOS or Office 365 clients about any issues the previous evening.

Despite objection or deficiency 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 charmingly astonished with the relative absence of spam and progressively visit presentation of new highlights.

Anybody have some other speculations (instructed 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 close, genuine 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 find out about interesting aggressive points of view and some extra news."

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