It's the knock on effect of Gmail, Yahoo did a similar thing a few weeks back.

I'll still change to gmail because my hotmail account is too prone to "sorry, the server is busy" messages and too chock full of beastiality spam which I ordered. Hotmail really does look like it's playing catch up with this announcement. Probably because it is! Bless 'em.

yes, free market economics is a wonderful thing for us consumers... the more competition there is, the better the and cheaper the service. lovely
