OS, get your professional-sounding addresses while you can. The service is still in its preview phase but you can now register an account.

I signed up with my [email protected] address. The GUI is soooo much better than GMail, not that that's saying much. I even like it more than Exchange 2010's OWA. Outlook.com uses ActiveSync as well so it'll be a beast for mobile devices.

@outlook.com addresses will become very popular in the future so if you're stuck with a messy GMail name then here's a great chance to pick up a new address.

I like it, just too deep in Google's services to make it worth uprooting.

The impending end to iGoogle has me poking around for alternatives though.

Signed up for future use, potentially.

Went with the professional sounding address, just as you did.

Thanks for this.

IMO migrating away from gmail is a pretty easy task.

Thanks for the heads up. I like Gmail, but registered an Outlook email address just in case.

I use Gmail as well but registered with Outlook. Did the full name @ but no . in between. Just don't like having a period in the address.

I'm definitely not a fan of gmail so I registered my name. Will probably use this email going forward. Good looking out!
