What would be the differences in that web mail client for users today? What if we apply some of the same design rules that brought us Hotmail, for instance? … What If Gmail Had Been Designed by Microsoft?

I’ve been using PC’s since the mid 80’s, and like everyone else have tried tons of software over the years.
I don’t understand bashing Microsoft, Google, IBM, Adobe or any other manufacturer of hardware or software. If you don’t care for a product, vote with your dollars and use a different one… we do have choices.
I use G-Mail and Hotmail. Personally, I don’t like web based e-mail and only use it when it fits best - primarily when I’m not using my own PC - and I’m glad to have those tools available when I need them.
If Microsoft had designed G-Mail, I would bet there would be an option to use folders. Note to Google: you have a good product in G-Mail. Millions of us prefer folders. Why not give the user an option… how hard would that be?
