In 2012, Microsoft decided that Hotmail — one of the best-recognized brands on the planet — would be retired, replaced by something completely different. Yes, Microsoft tossed out a brand as well-known as Coca-Cola or the terms taxi or Visa and replaced it with Outlook.com.

If you think that the name Outlook.com was chosen because Microsoft’s new flagship online email-service-formerly-known-as-Hotmail looked or acted like Outlook in Microsoft Office or anything else that’s ever been called Outlook, you’d be wrong. Outlook.com started out as the old Hotmail, with a few internal changes and a new boxy interface. In the years that followed, Microsoft gradually made Outlook.com look and behave more like the other Outlooks — and made the other Outlooks look and behave more like Outlook.com. The match-up is still not perfect, but it’s a lot better than it used to be.
