I don't know why people like gmail so much but I found gmail's design, or Google's Material language in general, really bloated. Outlook.com has a flat and simple layout. Of course it's inferior to gmail in search and I don't understand why they makes me type out the "@outlook.com" part at login.

Another reason I use outlook is that I already gave everything else to Google so just diversify a bit.

Probably due to that's not the only address they support still - I've got a hotmail.co.uk account and outlook login page for me.

Another thought is universities and other groups use outlook as their MX signing in via outlook.com which can then redirect


gmail has the same thing, but username will autocomplete to @gmail.com unless otherwise provided


If only they had different websites or domains to use for those different login pages.


Yup - my old LSE e-mail was via outlook.com
