Microsoft has finished its massive Hotmail user migration programme to Outlook.com



From V3:
The company said that it has now transferred all of the user accounts from Hotmail to its Outlook.com service, ending a data transfer campaign that shifted some 150 petabytes of user data.

"When Outlook.com came out of preview in February, it already had more than 60 million active accounts," wrote Dick Craddock, group program manager at Outlook.com.

"However, Hotmail was still one of the most widely used services, with over 300 million active accounts. This made the magnitude of the process incredible, maybe even unprecedented."
