Looks like Microsoft has accidentally revealed the new Metro-styled Hotmail interface, seen via a screenshot depicting the Microsoft Account login screen. This placeholder image clearly showcases the new interface but is it real or just a mockup?

As you can see from the image, the new Metro-styled Hotmail looks really nice with a minimalistic header and Metro-style navigation menu which lets you shift between Hotmail, People, Calendar, and SkyDrive. Previous reports have indicated that the new Hotmail interface would feature a “fast, fluid, and intuitive” and fully touch optimized interface. What remains to be seen is if this placeholder image is infact real. If it is, it sure looks nice.

Radu Tyrsina has been a Windows fan ever since he got his first PC, a Pentium III (a monster at that time). 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.
