Why did my hotmail account turn into outlook? How do I change it back?

Be sure to tell Microsoft your thoughts by visiting http://feedback.live.com/.

I did just that. Not at all happy about the change. and am moving.. Yes, I know many are "loyal" customers of Microsoft, I on the other hand am not. Used to be, but that is changing over time as they continue to try to force people to do as they wish, (microsoft), and have no regard for what others like.. Yes, I knew the change was coming, but was hoping by some SMALL miracle, it would remain "choice" on the users part. However as of today, that choice is no longer viable and people are being FORCED into using it. Or moving.. I am moving!!! The only reason I am keeping this account active is to see all the **** responses I get from people who "love" microsoft".. I am also reasonably sure Microsoft will remove my comments so no one else can view them. Well, that is typical of companies to remove negative thoughts from people.. I am not happy with FORCED change, never have been , never will be and so long as there are alternatives to the changes, I will use them.. Also, I would like to add that I am slowly moving out from under microsoft all together.. You all have fun now... And enjoy your new OUTLOOK UI..

I HATE OUTLOOK always have hated outlook, I NEVER used outlook and I will not start now!!!!!

Please don't confuse Outlook.com and Microsoft Office Outlook.  They are in no way related.  You could not "have always hated Outlook" (referring to Outlook.com) because Outlook.com didn't exist before a few months ago.

I am not confusing the two.. Yes, I hate outlook, always have.. None the less, I also hate "this" outlook looking stuff.. I also know, its still the "same" email, however, I HATE the outlook "look". And yes, I know outlook.com didnt exist untill a few months ago, but, onec again, I am FORCED into a change I do not want or like... Microsoft wants all there **** to look like Windows 8, well guess what, not every one, infact willing to wager, most, do not like that look, well besides the die hard Micro fans out there that think Microsoft can do no wrong.. Or, those who know nothing about computers or how to use them aside from a click here and there to view mass emails and crud... Yea, I am a bit on the , well, p.oed side.. And I am certainly watching my language on this site.. I tend to say it as I see it or feel it.. If I believe some thing is wrong, I mention it.. And this, is wrong.. millions of people who LOVED the old hotmail look are being forced into some thing with out there say so in agreament, sure, its micosofts privilage and right to change what ever they wish, HOWEVER, it is not the right way to go about it.. I see absolutly NO HARM in any way letting people to choose which UI they use, FORCING them ito one or the other now is just letting people know that microsoft doesn't really care what tehre "loyal" customers want.. "You will take it this way and like it!!" hmmmm, sounds real familiar to me.. So, once again, I am not reffering it as the same as the old craped out or even new crapped out outlook, its the ugly bulky UI I am reffering to...

Hi All,

We understand your frustrations about the Outlook.com user interface. We recognize how you like Hotmail interface so much but at this point, we are upgrading all Hotmail users to Outlook.com and plans were shared when we launched Outlook.com preview.

You can post your feedback on the link that was provided by Brian Tillman. For more information, you can refer to this article “Why am I seeing Outlook.com instead of Hotmail when I log in?”

If you have further questions, please don’t hesitate to let us know.

Thank you.

Not happy with this at all. I never agreed to this and cannot use Outlook!!!!!!!!! I very distressed so please switch me back to Hotmail imeadiatly.

Thanks in advance.
