So it's official, we'll be getting 250 megs. Surprise, they won't match up to Google's gig.

Quote:
We're rolling out email antivirus protection as well as enhanced storage to help meet your growing needs. This will make MSN Hotmail, a world class email service that both scans and cleans ingoing and outgoing email for viruses and worms before they enter your inbox.
In addition to delivering world-class antivirus protection, you can also look forward to an upgrade in your storage capacity. In fact, you'll receive 125 times your current email storage with the introduction of a 250 MB inbox as well as the ability to send attachments up to 10 MB.

However, they make it sound like an afterthought - as if people actually want antivirus protection more than additional mailspace. It's simply not true. I have a mere 45 messages in my Hotmail account, and it's 89% filled! It can only take a couple more.
