    No, but streaming video chat is the same, isn't it?

    Because MSN Messenger can do it. Has been able to for quite a while now.

    Probably best to check things like this first.

    but I think no one here has been paying enough attention to Microsoft lately.

    In particular, ladies and gentlemen, consider MSN Search's fantastic Encarta Integration feature; you ask, for instance, "Who killed Abraham Lincoln? (to take MSN's own sample search string), and it gives you the answer. As much as I hate MSN, I think this makes it MSN 1 - Google 0; nope, Google's answer.com integration just doesn't match.

    I'd consider Google's offer of hosting Wikipedia sites in the light of this feature offering by Microsoft.

  3. Has the poster bothered checking the facts? by lucason · · Score: 1 · on Hotmail Means to Double Gmail Storage

    I seems to me that this hotmail announcment states that the 2Gigs of storage are for subscribers only.

    So to answer OP's question.... Not that choked....

    ... but when are they going to actually deliver on the 10MB they promised everyone

    Look here
    MSN Hotmail
    Sign up now -- It's FREE!
    In addition to all the great features above, coming this autumn for all free Hotmail accounts:
    More E-Mail Storage -- Get a 250MB inbox -- FREE. That's over 125 times your current e-mail storage!

    The 2gb, 20mb per e-mail, no picture ads option is the "Hotmail plus" $19.99 per year subscription which is already available.

    The "coming soon" sometime in autumn promised freebie option for standard Hotmail will be 250mb, 10mb per e-mail.

  6. The "free" accounts do NOT get 2GB! by LinuxKnight · · Score: 5, Informative · on Hotmail Means to Double Gmail Storage

    RTFA... misleading /. headings strike again...

    Reading the deeper linked article from the top linked article, which is: http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=17949/ It does not specifically mention the "free" snotmail account gets 2GB.

    Reading M$N's page about it, http://www.imagine-msn.com/hotmail/en-us/ it looks like the M$N Plus accounts will get 2GB, which means the ones you pay $19.95/mo for. This is NOT the free snotmail account getting 2GB. These will get 250MB. Not GB, MB.

    Jeez the /. editors need to do a little more fact checking eh? But /. editors actually RTFA??? Naaaahhhhh.

    Google is still ahead in the actual FREE email storage space war. 100MB for Yahoo, 250MB for M$N. ... so, anyone got gmail beta invites? ;)

    The article got it a bit wrong. The free service will be offering only 250mb whereas hotmail plus will give you 2 gig. The free service emails will be limited to 10mb and plus will be 20mb. Still quite far behind Gmail it seems... http://www.imagine-msn.com/hotmail/en-us/
