no, but the 25mb wouldn't benefit me. I just needed it to be over the 2MB mark so I can stop getting the "you are approaching your fricken mail size limit" every other day. 😉
 
I do not need 250Mb of:

- gR0w~ur#man400d
- MORTGAGE RATES ARE DOWN!
- Lisa says, 'Hi! I have a new Vibrator!'
- Pleasure you can't measure, v1a gra

etc.
 
All three of my hotmail accounts have been upgraded to 250 😀

Took/is taking way too long; apparently they had trouble finding that much space. Surely they could have worked it out: 125 x (number of 2Mb accounts there are) = required amount of space.

Forgot to add: it's fair enough increasing the storage size to 250 MB, although jeez... it's nearly 2005! 2mb? what the hell's that about? should have been done years ago, it's not like they don't have the resources. However, it looks like they stagnated and kept everything the same until serious competiton was already in place (GMail, yahoo) before they thought about improving their service. Not very impressive. The worst part is MS are going to charge users to access their mail from external mail clients, including outlook. That's criminal in my eyes. I've already got a GMail account and am slowly making the transition over to them.
 
i just bumped up to 250 as well....

for some reason, it also looks a lot less crowded now.
did they change their interface a lil' bit?
 
Hotmail and Yahoo upgraded my accounts to 250mb on the same day.. what's the chances of that?
 
My hotmail account, which I have had since 1996, has finally been upgraded to 250 Mb TODAY! My wife has an account active since 2003 and she had hers upgraded weeks ago.
The good news is that they did not loose any of my emails (not like last time there was an "upgrade" ..when Microsoft acquired hotmail.com a few years ago. At the time talk on the street was that they messed up accounts when changing from Linux to a MS OS, I wonder if this was true).
