To avoid confusion over Microsoft’s new Ajax based mailing
system that Itd rename Livemail to Live Hotmail. Reports say that this
decision follows the recent switching of users to the classic Hotmail interface.
Microsoft however says that during the products beta phase,
the users have been really loyal to the Hotmail brand but a bit confused about
the name change, so this influenced their decision too.

As the products launch nears, Microsoft is worried about
retaining hotmail’s 260+ million customers.So this sort of a change is not totally unexpected, more to follow.
Maybe theyd name the Windows Mail Client to Windows Live Hotmail Desktop as
well.
