I was upgraded from Hotmail to Outlook.com.  I've had a few issues with Outlook.com; some resolved, some not.  With Hotmail there were never any issues.  I was just thinking what is the difference between Outlook.com and Outlook Express, as the Express looks more like Hotmail to me and, perhaps, it would be easier to work with.  I'm not interested in social media being part of my email account.  This is an urgent issue for me.
