In the race for message storage space among Web-based e-mail providers, Microsoft’s Hotmail has just leapfrogged Google’s Gmail. Customers with a free Hotmail account now will have 5 GB of storage; those with a paid account will have 10 GB, according to a posting on the Microsoft Live Hotmail community blog by Ellie Powers-Boyle, program manager. This compares with the just above 2.5 GB that Google provides users of free Gmail accounts. Thus, Hotmail has once again stepped up in the competition for the loyalty of Web-based e-mail users.
