Windows Live Mail: Oh, 5 GB now?
This was an interesting surprise. Although Windows Live Mail still advertises 2 GB storage space on its login page, after logging in it appears that I now have 5 GB storage space. I'm not sure for how long this has been going on since I don't really use Windows Live Mail these days (personally I prefer Gmail). This is a rather interesting move though. Are they trying to outdo Google at their own game?
Windows Live Mail has been receiving some attention thanks to its drag and drop capabilities. Although I have to agree that it's a "nice" thing to have, I don't personally regard that as any reason to move over. Gmail still gives me text-only advertisements (unlike those massive ugly old-school banners of Windows Live Mail) as well as many other things. I don't even use a fraction of the 2 GB storage I have anyway.
Quite interesting to see though how things have changed since a post I wrote a year ago.
