We all know that Office 2013 is coming soon which is enhanced for Windows 8′s Metro interface.  However, it seems that Microsoft is also putting a lot of effort behind the web-based version of their outlook software.  So what does this mean? Well as of right now, you can claim your own at @outlook.com email address. Those @outlook.com email addresses are going to be eaten up real fast, so make sure to claim your email address right now.

update: We forgot to mention that hotmail will be going away and will be replaced by outlook.com
