There are no official statistics available for the exact number of users for different webmail services but in US it’s the Yahoo! mail and Windows Live Hotmail contesting for the top spot followed by Gmail users.

With all its cool features, the new Hotmail can really take on any other mail providers and its now decided to take Yahoo Mail head-on.

The new website provides top reasons why the new Hotmail is better than Yahoo! Mail, such as:

The new Hotmail helps protect you from hackers in more ways than Yahoo! – The new Hotmail provides an encrypted connection during your entire session to help guard against hackers. Yahoo! provides an encrypted connection only at certain times like login.
Up to 50% Fewer Ads than Yahoo!
View and Edit Office docs right inside your Inbox – Hotmail lets you view and edit Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint documents from virtually any PC – without leaving your inbox–for free. You can’t do this with Yahoo!
Share 400x the amount of photos and files in one email- Share up to 200, 50 MB files (10 GB) in a single email using SkyDrive. The most you can send with Yahoo! is 25 MB per message.
Easier to Sweep out junk mail – The new Hotmail includes Sweep, a virtual broom that helps you clean up old messages in your inbox. It can also automatically file away or delete messages you receive from specific people or businesses.Yahoo! offers filters which you can set up manually, but they don’t help you get rid of unwanted messages that are already in your inbox.

It also says everyday people are switching from Yahoo! mail to Hotmail and provides very convincing reasons and the features of the new Hotmail justifying it. And then it goes on to provide some tough questions related to Hotmail and provides answers to it.

If you haven’t given a try to the new Hotmail , you should and you even don’t have to abandon your old mail ID. Hotmail with its cool new feature provides the ability to receive and send e-mails from other addresses, including ones from Gmail or Yahoo! Mail [Plus]. For example, you can send and receive mail from yourname@gmail.com or yourname@aol.com using Hotmail.

The site also provides a counter continuously ticking and showing the total number of people that have signed up for the new Hotmail since Sept. 2010.

Okay that is actually pretty lame of Microsoft. What they are doing here is basically targeting their competitors users, and not really anybody else. I wouldn't be surprised if Yahoo responds back to this with a similar campaign/website :p

Wonder if the next time they do a commercial for Windows it will be like "Tired of your old Mac being slow as sh*t and not being able to run any of the greatest software? Buy windows today!" lol
