Windows Live Mail Launches in Holland
While it has yet to publicly launch the service in the United States, Windows Live Mail made its official debut over the weekend in The Netherlands, Microsoft announces. The service, which is the successor to Hotmail, provides users with @live.nl addresses.
"Why the Netherlands? Well, the Netherlands is a prime location for the preview because of the local popularity of Hotmail," the Windows Live Mail team wrote in a blog post. "We will be using this experience to test some new scenarios, like those surrounding Windows Live IDs , as well as to go deeper into customer feedback. We will then incorporate and make improvements based on this feedback before launching in additional markets in the coming months."
