What about hotmail.com?


Recommended Posts

they have 67 million accounts..

that would be this many GB: 67,00,000

MSN Hotmail has 170M active accounts. MSN Messenger has 120M active accounts, with roughly 12M ppl communitcating simultaneously at any given time.

These are platforms from which other services can be launched/integrated. They are critical to the success of MSN as a whole, and they will be competitive with other services out there.

Off the wall coments about lameness aside...it comes down to business fundamentals. What is the risk associated with doing nothing in the face of Gmail & Yahoo! Mail moves? Heck, Yahoo! Mail had a 2mb storage advantage over MSN until Tuesday. Despite critical acclaim for MSN's anti-spam efforts, Yahoo! Mail had actually surpassed MSN Hotmail in the United States last summer in terms of unique users returning to the service at least once per month. Yahoo! Mail has stretched out a good 4M user lead over MSN Hotmail in the U.S. It will be interesting to see short-term usage trends for both MSN Hotmail & Yahoo! Mail prior to Gmail going public, MSN Hotmail's upgrade, then compare & constrast them to recent months.

Microsoft cave? No way. More likely they will sue others offering more than 2mb for unfair trade practices....

I called the friendly people here in Australia responsible for MSN and was told that "Microsoft will respond" to free email boxes going up in size for free.

Time will tell.
