I have both a Windows and Debian Box I am trying to dual boot the 
Windows box with Debian

Recently the msn Explorer has not been working properly and I get 
messages to upgrade.  But its to get premium.  why would I want premium 
and pay when I have an ISP address.  Msn or hotmail free accounts only 
have 2 MB storage and yahoo which I think is better has 4 MB storage.

Google is looking into the free email market and will give you 1GB 
storage I guess roughly that is about 500 times more than hotmail and 
about 250 times more than yahoo.
There is a trade off and that is they scan your emails for content and 
then send you ads down the side of the page directed at you personally 
to do with your content.
It is not running.

I hand omni/opti call (whatever) phone with all the ads and could call 
when I was in Sydney any Metropolitan place in Australia with ads,  I 
loved it as I could call all my friends in Adelaide and Brisbane and 
even my parents who were in Penrith and was an Std call.  I can put with 
ads for a free service.

I won't use my msn email address any more as I am pissed off with them 
ramming premium down my throat

Gmail will also support Mozilla and Netscape

One benefit is you don't have to store your emails on your computer and 
they will use their searching facility for you to find old old old 
emails and you will never have to delete an email again and you won't 
have to worry about hotmail bouncing your emails as you are too full

It is an option and I am sure that others will not want it.  It is not 
running yet but you can check out the above link and read the 
information.  besides you have ads if you use msn explorer anyway
