Hotmail: The 4th wave is upon us....

Hotmail VS Gmail
Hotmail is adding a lot of sparkly bits to their mail experience. In the upcoming weeks beta testing will commence and we'll see a lot of changes, according to Microsoft. Operation: Wave 4. Its going to be tight squeeze to fit the launch in before Yahoo gets started with all the upgrades they promised too.

Upgrades on the filter system will help you organize your mail, helping you prioritize which emails are important, which are spam, and graymail (not spam, mail from companies or businesses you use occasionally, but which aren't very important. So spam, but not quite)

You'll also be able to filter your inbox concerning mail from social networks, mail containing office documents, attachments, etc. Mobile web version updates include a far more streamlined service, with added calendars and tasks.
And not forgetting to rival the competition, Gmail, conversation view will also be thrown into the deal, along with intergrating Facebook, Twitter, YouTube et al, into the deal (I'm not quite sure how, though)

Personally, I don't prefer one over the other. I have hotmail as well as gmail accounts
