Neowin members (thanks DJLunacy for the initial post) are reporting (http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=513112) that Microsoft's (http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=36191#) webmail (http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=36191#) service, Hotmail, is currently upgrading users from 250MB to 1GB. Windows Live (http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=36191#) Mail has a maximum of 2GB storage (http://www.neowin.net/index.php?act=view&id=36191#), but many users don't wish to use it, and therefore were stuck on 250MB.

:ermm: I thought hotmail converted to Windows Live Mail. Anyone use either?

I only have 6 emails in my hotmail account saved. It says I'm using 1% of the 1000MB. It's probably less than that.
