Wow, I never thought of that. Christ, those two companies Board's must be pullin their hair out. Dont they average about 30 million users each? And now to be hit with something like this, they gotta ramp up network space fast. *heh* This could end up being an interesting email war.

This is going to end all the hot deals on harddrives as google, yahoo, and microsoft buy them all to make massive warez servers.

It's 10mb per email. Reason behind it being 'thats more storage space in one email than the competition offers in their entire mailboxes'.

You can still break up a large file into 10 MB .rars and send 50 emails of 10 MB each...

Bingo. This is going to be hard for them to prevent unless they do what aol did: automatically kill an attachment after it's been forwarded too many times.

Google has a 1gb limit. You've been under a heavy rock, haven't you?

It doesn't take long to break an .iso into nice 10mb .rar chunks, it's not an issue.

Yes, you could, but think how long it'd take to upload that!

no longer than uploading anything else of 700 mb...

The initial 700MB is nothing, since after you upload it once, you just forward it around to anyone you want.

Too bad Gmail is so 1984 that it's not even worth using.

 

[shenaniganz]

Who does hotmail, Yahoo, and Google (in the future) use for their storage? Time to buy stock in EMC perhaps?
