Google Chrome isn’t Hot for Hotmail

Have you tried to use Microsoft’s Windows Live Hotmail in Google Chrome browser? It’s not fit for Hotmail. That’s what Hotmail tells. First, I thought it’s a temporary warning – one of those that keep hitting your monitor without any provocation.

Upgrade your web browser
We recommend that you upgrade your web browser so you can get the most out of Windows Live Hotmail. Upgrading should only take a few minutes. To get started, choose one of the browsers below:

• Microsoft Internet Explorer
• Mozilla Firefox
• Apple Safari

If you don’t want to upgrade right now you can still continue to Windows Live Hotmail, but some parts of it may not work and it may not be displayed properly.
