Outlook.com early adopters get extra SkyDrive space and free Skype group video
On July 31, Microsoft celebrated the one year anniversary of Outlook.com, its new take on the web-based email service. The launch started with a public preview where anyone could try out the service meant to be a replacement for the older Hotmail service.
This week, Microsoft sent out emails to the people who were among the first to try out Outlook.com in its first weeks to give them a couple of gifts. One is a promo code for SkyDrive that gives them 3GB of extra free space on the cloud data storage service for a year. That means that those users get a total of 10 GB of free space on SkyDrive.
