Email Storage Increasing

It seems that competition continues in email storage. Microsoft has upped the ante:

“Microsoft is increasing the storage limit for its Web-based e-mail service, surpassing competitor Google’s limit but far short of Yahoo’s unlimited storage.

The limit for a free Windows Live Hotmail account will increase from 2GB to 5GB. The change will be rolled out to users over the next few weeks along with a series of other upgrades, wrote Ellie Powers-Boyle, a Microsoft program manager, on a company blog.”

Of course, if this is still not sufficient storage, Google and/or Microsoft would be happy to sell you more. As far as ‘free’ stuff goes, perhaps Google has a significant response which will generate even more advertising dollars.
