We announced in February that Windows Live was piloting a new feature unique to Hotmail we’re calling “quick add.”* Today, we’re happy to announce that Bing – Microsoft’s decision engine – has come to Windows Live Hotmail quick add, allowing you to “Bing and Decide” from the comfort of your inbox.

With Hotmail’s quick add feature, now enhanced with Bing, you can easily search, find, and insert content from the web straight into your e-mail messages. With just one click you can add restaurant reviews, movie times, images, videos, maps and more.

Give it a try:

1. Click New to create a new e-mail message.
2. Select a category from the Quick add pane on the right.
3. Type what you want to find in the Bing search box.
4. Click Insert on the Bing search result that you’d like to add to your message

To try it firsthand, go to Windows Live Hotmail and check out the right-hand side of the screen when composing a new message. Let us know how you like it.
