lprovenHotmail sent me a message inviting me to see a sneak preview of the new UI. I read it in Outlook Express, my spam bucket for Hotmail - I seldom generally use the account.
Why not, I thought, and clicked the link.
It opened. After a while, a short Flash-type movie downloaded, and in a small box at the top left of a blank white screen, showed me an animated logo, then an American female voice welcomed me to "MSN Hotmail."
Then it played again, partly. And stopped, because it was downloading and playing again. And again. And again.
I closed the browser after watching it try to loop about a dozen times.
GREAT demo, guys. Good work. Really reassure your customers, why don't you. I'm impressed.
