Bigpond is improving the way 4.2 million users access their email by integrating Microsoft’s Windows Live service.

Along with email access via Australia’s Number 1 webmail service, Hotmail, Bigpond email customers will also be able to take advantage of the Skydrive cloud storage service and other Windows Live features such as Microsoft Web Apps such as Microsoft Word and Excel.

The new Bigpond email with Windows Live is available immediately to all new Bigpond customers with existing user accounts being migrated across throughout the year. Get more info from Bigpond HERE.
