I keep my Hotmail account for three reasons - nostalgia, so someone else doesn't take it, and because Comics.com only sends one free daily comic per email address and I really want to receive Dilbert and Pearls Before Swine.
This update looks like some catchup and some new features. There's nothing there that will prompt me to change. In the context of a market leader playing defence, however, these look smart.
I must admit i do check hotmail.com every day, but i mainly use it as a dumping ground for all web app signups, newsletters etc that i don't want crowding my inbox on my iPhone.
It would be handy if Microsoft released an iPhone app for hotmail, or provided full IMAP access like GMAIL.
