...nice to see that when their server is busy they have a snazzy holding page:

<html>
<body>
This server is too busy.
</body>
</html>

...TVF's is better then that! And this from the world leading software company, supposedly!

Apparently Hotmail are going to give 250MB of free storage against Yahoo's recent 100MB giveaway. But what happens to all those that PAID MSN for a year of extra storage space?

They get even more.

2gb if I'm not mistaken.

Course neither free service can match google's 1000MB.

If the server really is too busy, they don't want to make it even busier with a complicated error message

MSN has always had 'snazzy' graphics for everything. I was a bit surprised, but then again i was also very pleased...

I have two new email messages but the server is too busy! theyre just lame newsletters and I want to delete them but i cant because too many people are probably trying to do the same thing.

I'm not going to like when they upgrade to 250mb. That busy page might as well be their home page.
