One of the world’s largest tech company has decided to launch a Hebrew version of hotmail for its Jewish audience.
(Globes Online) MSN Israel has launched the beta Hebrew version of Microsoft’s new “Windows Live Hotmail” on the MSN Israel portal. The new service is being launched simultaneously in 36 languages, serving 280 million users worldwide, according to figures released by Microsoft. An estimated 20 million people worldwide have already tried out the beta version of Live Hotmail.
This is great news for Microsoft, although a little late as Google already has email services in Hebrew. Microsoft’s entrance will hopefully spur more companies to make their services “Israeli friendly,” as citizens of the holy land have had a lot of influence within the tech sector.
