I can't even get to the new outlook.com with my hotmail.com address; it was only after creating a brand new outlook.com address that I was able to see what all the fuss was about
But now that you already signed up for a new account it may not work straight away...
Maybe they're rolling it out in phases?
Oh well, it's not like I ever used hotmail to begin with
