Hotmail's interface changed yesterday. It now resembles MSN explorer. Some people have pop-ups and splash page ads also.

The new interface turned up yesterday for some users then they went back to the old one. Now it's back to the new interface for everyone.

Never used Hotmail much though.

I sorta like it. I haven't had a chance to play around with it much, but it looks better than the old yellow and navy layout. At least I can see my folders on the left side..

no popups for me, but I'll test it out further..

I'm lucky, I havn't had any popups or splash ads thrown at me yet. This new layout and stuff seems like it will at least be more efficient than the old one.

Doesn't affect me much though, as I don't use hotmail all that much. Since I discovered the wonders of pop email and ms outlook, things have been so much easier.

no popups here either, and i love the new layout. Also, i made my own messenger tweak. It kicks too.

lastactionhero - maybe it was a delayed popup from someother website?

Nope. I got the pop-ups when I logged into my inbox. Although this was only during the first phase, now I'm not getting any pop-ups. Maybe they were testing everything initially.

I may need to open a spam account with hotmail and re-direct all excess mail toward it because its filling up my admin account.
