On Outlook.com →

Outlook.com is a new web email service from Microsoft. Built in the Metro style, the interface is clean — in fact, it makes Gmail look cluttered and iCloud look just silly.

I would love to see Microsoft grow this service. If it offered Exchange accounts to the public for free, it’d be a real game-changer, and would let the company take Gmail and iCloud on in a way that Microsoft can’t currently. Sadly, at this time all the service can offer is POP access, which is lamesauce.
