Watching Microsoft get beat is always fun. It’s like rooting against the Yankees or the Lakers. No one likes them, and when they lose, it is sweet victory.
Google totally has topped Yahoo! and Microsoft by venturing into the e-mail market and offering free accounts that give you one gigabyte of storage.
This is a hundred times what others like Hotmail offer.
I personally have been a Yahoo! user for a long time.
Hotmail deleted my whole inbox once and I have never gone back.
And I am sure others also will be leaving. A free gig should be enough to get anyone to go through the hassle of changing their e-mail address.
Google says its service should be up in a few weeks.
