hotmail account

[fire400]

my hotmail account reads:

3% of 2000MB = 2 gigs total?

"I?m happy to say now is quite an exciting time for Hotmail. The great news is that later this month, we are upgrading all Hotmail accounts regardless of the market and account age to 1GB of space. That means a new account created after the change will get 1GB instantly - no more small accounts at the initial sign on and probation for 30 days account feature."

"We?re also making another change for our loyal Hotmail users who have been with us for 2 years or more."

so how much competition is this towards other e-mail services?

So far on my msn mail account it is only 1GB of space

I couldn't care less ;( 250MB was more than good enough... 1GB was overkill.

I never got the 250MB updgrade bit, who knows, maybe I'll jump to 2GB. Not that I use that poxy thing anyway.
Gmail FTW

Kind of funny how hotmail tries to stay relevant by continuing to fall short of what other services offer. Granted, most people aren't going to care much about the difference between 1G and the 2G+ that you can get elsewhere but "exciting" is hardly an appropriate word.
