Yes, but Yahoo gives 100 megs. So, Hotmail offers more than that, and this is what matters for them. They know competing with Gmail is going to be difficult, and they're trying to make a difference with a "similar" service like theirs.

And many newbie users of Messenger don't know they don't need to have a Hotmail account but any other, that way they grow their number of accounts despite the amount of megs. offered...
