Hotmail users to receive 250MB storage space

"Later this summer, all free MSN Hotmail accounts will receive 125 times their current e-mail storage with the introduction of 250MB inboxes, and have the ability to send attachments up to 10 MB. This is in addition to the new scanning and cleaning of incoming and outgoing e-mail for viruses and worms. MSN Hotmail customers will also receive MSN Calendar free, enabling both individual and shared diaries."

The free email disk space wars hot up. In the case of my Hotmail account it's just more space for spam to build up. Still only a quarter of the size of a certain other provider.
