Where Hotmail Gets High Marks

Inbox ZERO
The new Hotmail focuses heavily on reducing your cluttered inbox and keeping your email organized. New one-click filters let you focus on senders in your Contact List, social updates (via Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, etc.) and more.
You'll also find Quick Views useful when looking for certain types of emails, such as those that contain photos or documents or even shipping updates.
Conversation View feels a little late to the game as threaded conversations are a Gmail staple. However, if you prefer not to view your Hotmail email messages as threaded, Hotmail allows you the option to toggle Conversation View on and off. The choice is welcome.
While these types of filters can be useful, the more exciting addition is Sweep. Sweep allows you to move or delete all messages from selected senders as well as tell Hotmail to automatically continue with the chosen Sweep action in the future.
While each of these features is technically possible via Gmail's search—and certainly more versatile—Hotmail succeeds in making every one of these actions both fast and easy to accomplish.
Attachments

Hotmail has an elegant new way of handling attachments. Integrating with SkyDrive, Microsoft's free online storage offering, you now have the ability to attach up to 10GB of files per email. This probably sounds both incredible and excessive, and that's probably because the 10GB number is more of a marketing gimmick than a reality. While you could, technically, attach 10GB of files to an email you have a limit of 50MB per file and 200 files per message. SkyDrive also comes with a 25GB limit. Chances are you'll do just fine with these limitations, but nonetheless it's fine print to be aware of.
Attachments in Hotmail go straight to your SkyDrive and are sent as links to your recipients. Nonetheless your files appear just as you'd expect attached files to appear. Hotmail detects kinds of attachments, such as photos. When you send photos, Hotmail not only generates a gallery but a slideshow as well
