We haven’t heard about the Windows Live version of Microsoft’s old standby Hotmail since Microsoft decided to keep the Hotmail name in February. Now Elizabeth Montalbano is reporting for the IDG News Services that Windows Live Hotmail is about to go live:
Microsoft Corporation on Monday will finally bring its completely revamped version of its popular online e-mail service out of beta and into full release.

Microsoft Thursday declined to comment through its public relations agency.
