I switched over to outlook.com recently. The UI is far superior to Google's in a lot of ways, the ads are less in your face, and with the recent NSA revelations I'm not really too concerned if the NSA is getting my data from Microsoft rather than from Google.

- magicalist 13y agoNo, they're just not offering new ones. You should be fine.
- pygy_ 13y agoThanks. This discussion prompted me to back up that account locally, just in case... It was long overdue, anyway.
- Yhippa 13y agoYes you are absolutely correct, my mistake.
