Hotmail to Rival GMail ??

[bbwannabe]

i wonder how many premium users will drop their accounts cos they no longer need 2GB and 250MB is sufficient. That'll cost MS.

Also ad-words is no where near as ugly and intrusive as it the ads in hotmail

Yep you do not notice it if you dont want to although i have had some weird experiences with it

I have seen some weird 'page can not be found' errors in the ad-words.... not sure if it's cause it's still in beta, or if it's cause I write some weird and freaky emails. In either case, they're not an issue for me.

Not on one of my old Hotmail accounts - have just checked it now, and it's still showing at 2MB maximum mailbox usage

the antivirus/spam filter has been recently installed. It seems to be working.

For example, I have forwarded a 'problem' ntl account to my hotmail address.

Instead of the 60 a day average spam messages in the ntl account, I'm getting maybe 5 in junk/bulk mail folders in my hotmail

Must have upgraded on my hotmail too, just logged on and suprisingly only 20 spam mails have been recieved over the past few days, where usually it would be 70-100!!!
