It takes two weeks after accepting the invitation to change ur account to live mail acc. Me too when accepted the invitation got a 2000 MB space instantly but the interface took about 2 weeks to change

u have to goto options and change the look manually

i did it thru hotmal itself ... it was pending
just cicked on it yest and it was activated INSTANTLY

click options and ull see the link to change the look there
u are probably on default hotmail

( PS: i prefer default hotmail .. live mail is pretty slow .)

Yes. You are right. I doesn't load in my GPRS net connection. So I'm planning to opt-out from Live Mail beta.
