HardwareGeeks.com - Hotmail Increases Storage to 250 MB - Page 1

Last week rumors spread that Microsoft would increase it’s storage for free users to 25MB. Boy were they wrong. Microsoft announced today that starting in July they will boost Hotmail Storage to 250 MB; 10 times then what was originally reported.

The announcement comes a week after Yahoo! increased its storage to 100MB for free users and 2GB for mail plus subscribers.

Microsoft will also implement improved spam filters and a virus scanner come July. They will also allow email attachments of 10MB.

Microsoft will also offer 2GB of storage and 20MB attachments to Hotmail Plus and MSN Subscribers.

It should also be noted that Yahoo is offering 100mb (much faster)
and gMail has 1000 mb (even faster)

just seems like a bit too much a bit too soon.

More space for spam
