MSN Hotmail, promising to eliminate the storage issue

With all the new free e-mail services popping up at the moment, it's no wonder Microsoft are scheduling a rethink of their Hotmail email service. Hotmail's main problem over the last couple of years has been with the storage limitations associated with the free Hotmail e-mail services. Microsoft has now said they soon plan to announce a strategy which will hopefully eliminate these issues.
"We have been intentionally quiet over this period, as we formulated our plans, and waited to see the Yahoo response, feeling it would be best to see how strong Yahoo's counter would be before going public with our own," Blake Irving, corporate vice president of MSN's Communication Services group, told employees.

    Funny how they say Yahoo's counter. When yahoo did it first. They make it sound like hotmail is the main dog. When in actuallity their mail service is **** compaired to yahoo.

    They're talking about Yahoo's counter to Gmail, so Microsoft can make a responce appropriate with the free email industry.

    "all the new free e-mail services popping up at the moment" = Gmail :D

    Sorry boys, 4MB just isn't going to cut it anymore (especially when I can send a 10MB file with Gmail :cool: )

    Hello all,
    Wonder what all the ballyhoo is about with the email. Google seems to be falling further behind. Guess they are waiting microsoft to buy them out.
