Windows Live Mail Beta Unleashed (on me)

Apparently Windows Live Mail Beta has been "out" for a month or two already, but I just received my invite the other day. I am a Hotmail VIP, w00t! I know that previously I had said that I was done with Hotmail forever and would be using Gmail for now on. I lied. I continue to use Hotmail, albeit with Outlook Express exclusively, as my main email account. I would use Gmail but their POP3 port is blocked by my work's firewall. I also use my trusty old Yahoo! mail account when I need to sign up for anything. That one gets about 200 spam a day so I might as well keep it coming on there.

Here is the Hotmail Windows Live Mail invitation in all its glory:

Thank you,

One really cool feature is that it has right-click functionality. I'm assuming this is thanks to Ajax.
