Microsoft CorpĀ announced on Monday the global launch of Windows Live Hotmail, a new version of its popular e-mail service, in 36 languages.

"The new service has been built to be a vast improvement over the previous Hotmail, having incorporated inputs from more than 20 million 'beta' testers," a Microsoft release said.

The new Live Hotmail will deliver safer, more powerful and productive e-mail experience with flexible access via the web, on a mobile phone or with an e-mail

client, it said.

Later this month, Live Hotmail subscribers will be able to access their Windows Live Hotmail email and contacts for free, using Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 or Office Outlook 2007 via the new Microsoft Office Outlook Connector Beta.

"With Windows Live Hotmail, you can preview your email, drag and drop emails and personalise your inbox," Microsoft Online Services Group India Country Manager Jaspreet Bindra said in the statement.
