Hey guys,

this morning as i checked my emails in hotmail, i got shocked ... u know why , coz my email storage capacity magically increased from a mere 2 MB to a whopping 250 MB, and all of that free (unless microsoft compny wants to make me their jwaiin) .... talk about upgrades man .... i was like woah woah , what happened?? i mean i alwayz use hotmail and not other emails and was waiting when hotmail's gonna give some real storage .... now i can really store pics and stuffz in my email without having to worry about running out of space ...

but guys, is it same with all of u also or not??? i mean have ur hotmail been upgraded???

just curious , kILLERbUZz

yeah, kb, mine has been upgraded too. that is some serious storage, but my feeling is that it's a free sample kind of thing. you know, a way to entice people to BUY more storage space for their hotmail account. it's like 20 bucks a year for additional storage. i hope i'm wrong, though, and it is just a gift from hotmail. but i doubt it. enjoy it while you can!

Yes yes.. mine upgraded too..

mine too! :) must be everyone

i have two hotmail accounts........... and both of them are still of 2MB capacity. afterall, MS sucks!!! what are they upto? kasailai kakha kasailai pakha?

Mine has not been? how do I do it?

you can't do it for free. Of three of my accounts, only one was upgraded.
I think they are gradually upgrading each account and I read somewhere that each account is classified into some group and upgrade is taking place groupwise.

And it was time they do it anyway to compete with gmail(1000MB) and yahoo(100MB).

It seems it depends when you created your account. One of my account (oldest) was upgraded few months back and one still has 2 MB capacity :=)

Both of my accounts have been upgraded!! wohoo0o!:)

i think they forgot the old ppl..hyaa....i've been waitn for ages..feels like ages...and still no increase..and i thot i get some privelege for being old...senior citizens rights.hehe

but dyam this dodgy M$ ..forgetting the old and lookin at the young ppl..hyaaa old users lets unite!!we show em!!;oP...

i think i should leave that dodgy hotmail anyways..but urghh using it for far too long...cant remember..since hotmail came out?when did it come out?anyone?hehe..too old losing memory..:oS...hehe ...oops no life story...;oP

anyways this aint nice..but im glad to hear im not the old person left out by those salla kuttaas M$!!!!just being me..hehe..old and cranky ;oP
remember if smthing hurts u too much..maybe we should just dump it..hoina?i dunno...gmail is so fine...its there for me..and why do i still stikn to this dumb old 2Mb hottie..why!!!:oS...nothing makes sense!!!what is sense!!hyaaa.....

have a good day...

View/Share this post only

good question slash ... i have no clue .... maybe its 10 MB but who knows ... can't bother to try ... and

Seems Like only the lucky ones are getting upgraded huh??? or maybe microsoft compny spies on the email of the hotmail a/c holder and whoever they find smart, they upgrade it ..... haha just a thought u guys ...

The limit for attachments now is 2 MB. Enjoy fellas!

nah its not 2mb. Actually i was able to send a email with an attachment of 12MB to myself. But hotmail didnt let me open it saying "hotmail has permanently blocked the attachment from being downloaded as it may be harmful for your computerl".

I am surprised that you guys just had it upgraded. Mine was upgraded a month ago, like Ax.

It wasn't a sample enticer or whatever, but a way to survive with other competitions as Yahoo and Gmail as passinthru also pointed out.

By the way last time I tried to send an attachment, I believe the restriction was 10MB.

Whoa.... mine is a whopping 2000 MB! After 3 months of 25 MB space, I was surprised to see that increase. Micro$oft has the $$$ , I guess they can afford to fight competition (Gmail 1000 MB, Yahoo 100 MB). With firefox in the news lately, I won't be surprised if they revamp the IE. By the way, I use firefox as my default web browser. Haven't used IE for a few months now. You folks ( web savvy types and not so savvy types) can try the browser available at http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

Use it and you'll like it. Configure it your way and if you've got high speed internet.... works like a charm.

dude, midwestdude.... from kansas to be precise

Day before yesterday one of my accounts had 4mb limit and the other one 2 mb...
Yesterday, after Killa broke the news, one of my accounts was upgraded to 250MB and the otherone was untouched .. eh 2MB....
I thought saala haru le "choon choon ke" upgrade our accounts...
Aaaja herya, both were 250MB, aaaaaaaaanch... (I don't know what I am going to do with it hehe) Half of them might fill up with Junk mail :D

Now we just gotta watch 2 things...

1. I am pretty sure yahoo will also upgrade and make the limit just more than hotmail... like 251MB or higher... hehe... They don't want to get beaten by 2 major free email service providers. Google was okay, 1GB is kinda out of reach for yahoo, but, 250MB?? eh... I am sure in a month Yahoo will upgrade it too.

2. Microsoft le aba katti nakhara dekhaune hola, hehe... 2MB space dida ta 14MB ko rules and regulations matrai thiyo, eh... aba 250 dida ta 1 GB ko rules hune hola... eheh... Anyway, I don't know what am I gonna do with so much space... eh.. 1.520GB?? Kyaa karengaa? Khaayega?

The upgrade is not a big news, but Microsoft's frustration over
Gmail coming on front line and trying to compete with Microsoft.

Another frustration to Microsoft is Google Desktop released only
last month. If the computer is used by only one user, its a great
thing to try. You will forget the MS File Explorer's dumb file search
mechanism.

Google is also going to release web surfing IE like software, and that
will surely hit the market as long as its going to be free. Google Desktop
is so great that Google internet explorer if comes it will be a breathrough
in crushing out the MS monopoly.

How many of us really care privacy in the Google Desktop attacks us?
If our prvacy was so important, how come were getting so many
spams from Hotmail or Yahoo: because Hotmail and Yahoo themselves
sell our emails to someone else as their so called partners.

Do you care to read all these Terms and Conditions? Then, whats the
use of being so concerned as long as the system is free of Hard cash
(nothing is free: your time is also money. Time can not always be
convrted to hard cash, thus, time is going to be wasted means you
can use to as a virtual money using the free stuffs like hotmail or
yahoo or google stuffs.).

GP baaa, how you?
Whats that Google Desktop??? For a moment I thought you were talking about google TASKBAR...

I think MS monopoly is somewhat good for us. Other companies/people take entirely different path and come up with awesome products, which are not quite like MS products but better than them and above all they are free... Linux will kick MS's arse big time in next decade, I guess. eheh... and gmail will kick hotmail's butt.. :P

BTW, for the Gmail user, you can virtually store files in the gmail account like yahoo briefcase... and they have a software for that... 1GB storing space... eh.. transfer is same as email attachment.
