It was inevitable:
In a few weeks, users of MSN Hotmail will be offered 250MB of storage space. The upgrade will take place in early July, Microsoft announced today.
Also they say that:
Additionally, customers will be provided with the option of upgrading to MSN Hotmail Plus, a new premium service. For $19.95 per year in the United States, customers will have access to 2 GB of storage and will be able to send attachments up to 20MB. Offline storage will also be availabe, and will be “limited only by the size of their computer hard drive.”
Wich leaves us a good question: why would we pay to have 2 GB of storage? Isn´t Gmail’s free 1 GB enough?

Do you think college, a degree or phd will make you rich? Read this:
Abramovich lost his parents as a child, dropped out of college and then made a small fortune in a series of oil export deals in the early 1990s. His fortunes took off in 1995, when he teamed up with Russia’s most powerful crony capitalist, Boris Berezovsky, to take over oil giant Sibneft at a fraction of its market value. When Berezovsky fled Russia in 2000 to escape fraud charges; Abramovich bought out his stakes in Sibneft and the ORT television network. Also bought half of Russia’s largest aluminum company. Today he’s governor of the impoverished arctic region of Chukhotka, but retains investments through his British-registered holding company, Millhouse Capital.
From here.
He also owns Chelsea (football club), has two mega-super-yatches and some say he´s connected to the russian mafia..
