Microsoft may redesign Hotmail and rebrand it to Newmail

It's about time Hotmail got an overhaul and Microsoft seems to be tying an overhaul in line with their Metro UI format. According to Liveside.net, Microsoft is redesigning Hotmail to be "fast, fluid and intuitive". The design resembles that of the Metro UI. The new design is also what Microsoft uses in some other services like your Microsoft Account and your Microsoft Profile Page.

The page has a minimalistic design with a header that's green for Hotmail. The header is in different colours for different services, for example, SkyDrive will have a blue header. On the left is the name and the logo of the service and clicking on the name and logo will present you with a menu in Metro UI format. The menu contains items like Hotmail, People, Calendar and SkyDrive. The middle section of the header will have tabs for e-mail functions like Inbox, Compose, etc. and on the right, there are tabs to bring up WebIM (Messaging).
