Hotmail vs. Gmail

I have been angry at Hotmail for some time now, so I've decided to try Gmail, Google's version of email. This big negative about Hotmail is the small storage size. What is it? Oh yeah, 2 MB compared to Yahoo!'s 100 MB and Gmail's 1000 MB. I'm not ready to release the address until I'm confident I can live with it. I'll then create an MSN Passport so I can use the Gmail for MSN Messenger, thus ignoring Hotmail. We'll see how it goes...
