Microsoft announced that it has completed the roll out of its new Hotmail experience. All customers have now been upgraded.

"The majority of you got the new Hotmail just this past week, as we completed the rollout to over 350 million people in more than 220 countries around the world," writes Microsoft’s Mike Schackwitz on the Windows Live blog. "Now, everyone can take advantage of a faster Hotmail experience with great new features like one-click filters, Sweep, Active Views and more."
