Microsoft Celebrates 25 Million Active Outlook.com Users

Office Blog. As the graph above shows a large percentage of users signed up for the service right around the time Windows 8 launched. Most likely a lot of them are users creating new accounts to setup the OS. But regardless, Outlook.com stands on its own as a fast and nicely design platform for cloud emails. Speaking from personal experience, as far as core functionality is concerned, I prefer it to all other web based email services. It’s perfectly suited for both desktop and mobile use. And in classic Microsoft fashion the company called out Google’s Gmail service saying that around a third of Outlook.com users are also active Gmail users trying out Microsoft’s platform for the first time. In fact, after spending around a week with Outlook.com, 4 out of 5 users said they would switch to Outlook.com. As long as the service keeps improving and new features like the ones above are regularly added in, Outlook.com’s place at the very top is safe. This very well could be the return of the king.]]>
