We introduced it two and a half years ago to bring features like Hotmail more to the fore and add more journalism and content.
We do take your comments seriously and I recognise how much a part of your Internet life the old homepage was. We are taking them on board and looking at ways in which we can effectively address some of your concerns, particularly on issues like Hotmail where the experience should only have improved. Thanks again for all the feedback on this message board and I do recognise that most of the first reactions posted here are negative.
