Microsoft to Provide Unique Mail IDs to Indians
By: Sharon Khare   |   May 23,2007
Microsoft will now provide a unique email id for Indian users powered by Windows Live Hotmail, through a feature called custom domains.

Residents of Lokhandwala in Andheri, Mumbai are the first to avail of this feature with an email id called www.lokhandwalarocks.com. This is the software giant's first step towards customizing email for consumers in India.

"The residents of Lokhandwala will now have their own email ids through www.lokhandwalarocks.com. Users can have ids such as rahul@lokhandwalarocks.com and enjoy the added features of Windows Live Hotmail. Similarly, we aim to deliver an email id for every kind of Indian which truly reflects their identity and personality", said Jaspreet Bindra, Country Manager, Online Services Group India, Microsoft.

"We have also used this opportunity to tie-up with the movie Shoot Out at Lokhandwala. Users can now take part in a contest using their lokhandwalarocks.com email id and win passes for the Asia premiere of the movie", said Krishna Prasad, Executive Producer, MSN India.

Windows Live Hotmail is the next generation MSN Hotmail.

this si absolutely crap and jus a silly move by microsoft, why would one like to have his mail id changed jus for the sake of giving them their own personality?? i would rather stick to the @hotmail.com domain rather then having a stupid one like @malabarhill.com....ms needs to re-think on this for sure..

LOL It's just a mail id. This is stupid. I think this has more to do with the movie than MS offering a free service. I already have my name on live.com id. Even if i didn't, I won't bother about this. Seriously this is so silly, who changes email ids every day?
