EXTRA SERVICE
As well as an excellent Contacts list, Hotmail also includes a Calendar that visually knocks Google Calendar into a cocked hat. the service also filters emails that have Office documents attached and then lets you edit them in your browser using Office Web Apps. Hot mail also flags people who are online so you can that to them using Messenger, but you’re automatically signed into the instant-messaging tool when you log in. which may not suit everyone.
Gmail lets you display Google Calendar, a list of Google Docs and your Task in the main Gmail window instead of having to load them separately, and the ability to select an email and add it directly to a task list is a real time-saver.
Gmail also has an integrated chat feature and the controversial Buzz – a bit like Twitter’s less popular brother – for those times when email proves too slow means of communication.
we particularly like the way you can choose to search the web or your email via the main search box – a feature Hotmail sorely lacks
GMAIL WINNER (Round 5)
- Round 1 of Gmail vs Hotmail – Getting Started
- Round 2 of Gmail vs Hotmail – Storage
- Round 3 of Gmail vs Hotmail – Features
- Round 4 of Gmail vs Hotmail – Performance
Head to Head VERDICT:
Despite the new version of Hotmail offering a range of useful new features and improved integration with Windows Live services, we prefer the way Google puts email at the heart of everything. So for now, at least, Gmail is the winner, although it will be interesting to see how Microsoft responds to criticisms of its revamped service
GMAIL WINNER
