Day 2: Hotmail Beta - built with "Atlas"

PRSL02 Case Study: How Hotmail Used Atlas and ASP.NET to Build a Great User Experience.

Some pictures from the session:




What you see:

1) The overall user interface now closely resembles Outlook, with the three-pane view that can be customized to have the preview pane at the right side or bottom (or turned off completely).
2) A phishing filter is built into the system to protect users from fraudulent messages.
3) Search results are automatically displayed in a new folder, again similar to the way Outlook does it.

We also had a chance to sign up for the beta at the end of the session. :)
