Hotmail converting to Outlook

F.Y.I
You may be asked about this

Any patron that has a hotmail account will soon be automatically switched over to Outlook (Microsoft plans on converting everyone over by the end of the summer).

The good news is that the patron does not have to do anything special. When they login to hotmail they will be automatically redirected to Outlook and have all of their saved emails available.

I've done a little research and users will still be able to use their Hotmail address as well as have the ability to create outlook addresses too.

The downside is the interface is entirely different and patrons will have to learn the new interface.
