Is it MSN Hotmail, is it Windows Live Mail? No it’s Windows Live Hotmail.

When the Windows Live Mail Team at Microsoft launch their new mail service worldwide, it will be named Windows Live Hotmail. That’s right, Windows Live Hotmail! Some of you will begin to see the Windows Live Hotmail brand show up in the beta first in the Microsoft internal version (dogfood) and eventually in the public version in the coming weeks.

As we prepare to launch the final version of our new web mail service, we recognize the importance of ensuring that our 260+ million existing customers come over to the new service smoothly and without confusion. By adopting the name Windows Live Hotmail, we believe we’re bringing together the best of both worlds new and old. We’re able to offer the great new technology that Windows Live has to offer while also bringing the emotional connection many existing and loyal users have with Hotmail.

God knows how this will affect the Windows Live Mail Desktop branding name!
