Microsoft has begun previewing Outlook.com, a refined email experience available to try now for all existing Hotmail users.
The idea is to provide a more polished Outlook experience for people’s personal email accounts, be it on the computer or a mobile device.
Microsoft has dramatically cleaned up the interface with Outlook.com displaying 30% more messages than Hotmail does while the header has 60 per cent fewer pixels. There are also no more display ads.
All emails will be available via Microsoft’s SkyDrive cloud service and Outlook.com will automatically categorise emails depending on who they’re from. For example, emails from contacts will be grouped together while any newsletters will also be placed in one category. Microsoft say this will help users “sweep” through emails quicker and easier.

The day before yesterday I noticed they'd changed its look in the login page only. But the other layout was the same. So, yesterday I got the whole layout changed.

BTW, I changed my old hotmail address. Now it's the same as my gmail's but with outlook.com.
