The Microsoft SkyDrive team earlier today launched a brand new modern user interface, which was designed to match Outlook.com and Windows 8. Along with this information, Microsoft announced that Outlook.com has surpassed 10 million users within the first few weeks of being online. An amazing achievement indeed.

Has Microsoft finally designed the email service we’ve been waiting for? Gmail is currently pretty popular when it comes to email, and it seems outlook.com is “out” to change that… See what I did there?

Of course, Gmail has a super large user database, and with Google integrating Gmail into every new Google Account, the Gmail service will keep on growing. Outlook.com has it’s chance, as it integrated into Windows 8, and a user is asked to login or create an account at launch.

Amazingly, if you think Outlook.com and it’s 10 million users is big, then wait until you see Gmails, which has over 400 million users. So Outlook.com has a way to come before it over takes Gmail.

If Outlook continues to grow at this speed, it could reach 100 million users sometime next year (or even this year).

For most of the kids of his age, the Internet was an amazing way to play and communicate with others, but he was deeply impressed by the flow of information and how easily you can find anything on the web.

Prior to founding Windows Report, this particular curiosity about digital content enabled him to grow a number of sites that helped hundreds of millions reach faster the answer they’re looking for.
