It seems that Microsoft is very serious about their new Metro interface, as we are seeing Microsoft shift their products over to the new style, the Hotmail webmail will be next to get the Metro facelift. According to German website WinFuture, Microsoft are preparing a huge overhaul of the 16 year old webmail service and they have screenshots of what is supposed to be the new Metro-style Hotmail.
The new Hotmail looks very Metro-like with the fonts, icons, menu bars and layout matching Microsoft's existing Metro products like Windows phone, X Box 360 and the upcoming Windows 8. The screenshots show that the interface is still a work in progress, so the look may differ when it's released. Although it's difficult to determine if these screenshots are the real thing, but it seems a very logical step for Microsoft.
