It is available as beta version. You can have a new ID also.
I did upgrade my account this morning. It all worked well.
I have updated my account and its working well. Got a new email id also. Old id will also be working. If you switch earlier you will have option of new desirable id at this stage.
its a good thing im in 2012 and use gmail
Well gotta say that loved the interface, Microsoft has finally done something right after a million years. Immediately signed in for a new email id just for the sake of blocking it under my name (don't know if our kids will ever be able to find a simple username or email address available).
:) Chances are bleak as they have allowed multiple aliases. Like if you have been abc@hotmail.com, you're able to register not only abc@outlook.com but also pqr@outlook.com AND xyz@outlook.com (5 aliases maxiumum per account).
