I have absolutley no idea whuy I'm such a valued costomer and shit but OMFG!!!!! Also has anyone else recieved this email????

Hmm.. Guess I have reason to start using my hotmail accounts again.. Thank you google for forcing yahoo(updated to 100mb) and msn to do this.

i got that, whats so wierd about it, itsmarketing isnt it!

I havent got shit, maybe im not a valued customer

i think this is going to happen with everyone....or else gmail will just ruin them

yer that's what I heard.... I think if u got the mail u get it earlier or something..... either that or they aren't giving the huge inbox to anyone except people woh've had their accounts for a certain time

yeah i heard that awhile ago, because hotmail didnt want ot lose customers
an additional bonus is that hotmail still doesnt search your mail for words to send junk mail, or popup ads like gmail

Im on that situation too :huh:

Perhapes microsoft is being smart with this and doing it in stages to prepare for the traffic.. When yahoo did it, they basicly did it to everyone. so even when you signed up, you got it. So it fucked with the servers for an day.

Theres no pop up ads, nor have I gotten a single peice of junkmail from gmail thusfar...It scans words and puts ads on the side of the page, just like it does on the regular search engines, not to mention its all text and not banners like msn so theres no slow down for those of us who have super shit comps.

Don't despair if you havent gotten the notice yet, I just got it in my other Hotmail account. Just keep waiting, they'll have it to you by the end of the month.

But has the change been already done hound? :huh:

shit, if I got it I probably deleted it. That's what I do with stuff from MSN.

doesn#t matter u'll still get it...
