No invites here, and I wouldn't take it if it was offered. Gmail > MS

Me too, but I only use Hotmail when I register something online. I run Google Talk also, so I still get the instant mail notification popups.
I'm a big Google fan like MC, so it would take a significant advantage to get me to switch back to a MS account.

well, M$ antispyware may be the only worthwhile product M$ made. Its supposedly the best antispyware available right now
I agree with MarineCorps.
And you won't find any MS ads in my sig!

Well it's the best antispyware out there so my hatred of M$ takes a backseat to saftey. You'll notice I advocate firefox over IE. The only time I use IE is when I need to DL firefox

AKA illegeal tactics.
And i don't care if they offer 10GB of free space with every feature you could ever want. I'm sticking with gmail.
Neither of them is anything special IMO. The only really noteable point is the large storage you get, but Gmail at least is so strict on attachments that's its pointless. Unless you're a corporate lawyer type who saves *every* *single* email you get, you'll never need a fraction of the space they're offering.
It's easy enough to tell, since practically no one uses Gmail for their main email. I can think of only a handful of people that I know who don't have a Gmail account, yet I can only think of one guy who uses it as his main account. Not that I'm complaining though, I have 3 "secondary" Gmail accounts
The biggest thing to remember with Gmail is that *beta* tag sitting by the name. When it goes gold (if that ever happens) the only question is how generous they'll be with the free accounts - I don't have high hopes.

Gmail is my main account. I have a Hotmail address that I use to register accounts, and a university address that I rarely use.

I have no personal issues with MS products and I still won't use this. I get tired of how they try to get everyone excited about their news products when its just a copy of something somebody else just did. Too many tit for tat releases lately.

Does the beta still offer only 250MB of space.
