A blast from the past!
MSN Quest, Hotmail, and Outlook are all related to each other in the history of Microsoft's email services. Here's a brief overview:
- MSN Quest (1997-2001): MSN Quest was a web-based email service launched by Microsoft in 1997. It was part of the Microsoft Network (MSN) and allowed users to send and receive emails, as well as access other MSN services like chat rooms and online games.
- Hotmail (1996-2013): Hotmail was a free web-based email service launched by Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith in 1996. Microsoft acquired Hotmail in 1997 and merged it with MSN Quest. Hotmail became one of the most popular email services in the world, with over 100 million users.
- Outlook.com (2012-present): In 2012, Microsoft launched Outlook.com, a new web-based email service that replaced Hotmail. Outlook.com was designed to be more modern and feature-rich, with a focus on integration with other Microsoft services like Office and Skype.
- Outlook (2013-present): In 2013, Microsoft launched Outlook, a desktop email client that replaced Microsoft Outlook 2010. Outlook is a popular email client that allows users to manage their email, calendar, and contacts.
Today, Outlook.com is the primary web-based email service offered by Microsoft, and Outlook is the primary desktop email client. Hotmail is still available, but it's no longer the primary email service offered by Microsoft.
