Microsoft has invested quite a lot of money in making Outlook.com a very advanced email platform in the last couple of years, so the company now launched a new ad to showcase some of the enhancements it made to the service.

Outlook.com is the right email platform to stay up to date with everything without the need for accessing other services, as it allows you to talk to Facebook and Twitter contacts, post messages on these social networks and launch a Skype video conversation right form the inbox.

“There are lots of ways to stay in touch—that's why Outlook.com is more than just email. You can add contacts one by one, or connect to other services--like Skype, Facebook, Twitter, Google, and LinkedIn--and your contact list will populate automatically,” the video description reads.

Outlook.com is the email service that made Microsoft kill Hotmail, so the company still has a lot of work to do in order to convince all users that it’s really worth a try.
