Dude gmail is awesome unlike hotmail it seems to know every single email that is spam its awesome ive not had a single spam letter in my inbox not one, and the space is awesome, then again hotmail has improved but i'm not going to go back, only think i use my hotmail account for is msn messenger (seems like the only descent bit of kit microsoft can do (Msn 7.0 Sux)) anyways Gmail all the way m8

is this a joke?

gmail is better than hotmail in every way...

pointless poll tbh

oh and you can use your gmail account with msn messenger btw

Indeed you can use your gmail to sign onto hotmail. I like gmail better because...I just dislike hotmail. >_> However, all of you folks that say gmail is faster, it's not for me. I have 7% of my inbox filled, and it goes pretty slow. It might just be my computer, but before, it was a whole lot faster. And gmail does have ads, but they do pertain to your emails of course.. I also still get tons of spam. currently, i have 1944 messages of spam in my 'spam' folder. I wish they had a choice where you can just empty the whole folder in one click, because I have to keep going through and deleting 100 at a time. It really pisses me off sometimes. But I still like gmail a bunch. >_> It's just better in so many ways you can't imagine, though there are still a few flaws here and there. With hotmail, like someone said before, I hated how it always told me that my inbox was getting full. I mean, blah blah blah, even yahoo didn't complain that much. Anyways, this is no competition. Gmail = automatically better than hotmail.

As a Hotmail user, even I can admit that G-Mail is certainly elite. I saw someone use all the features and the whatnot and it seems very comprehensive and very organized. Plus a whole gig of space? I don't know what I'd do with myself...haha. The only reason I'm not begging someone to invite me is because I'd feel guilty having that much space and only using 2 or 3 megs. I could cope with Hotmail fine even before they upgraded, the 250 is just a bonus. All in all, G-Mail IS better, there's no doubt. I'll just stick to what I've got

Sure you don't want a invite, feel free to ask me. You know you want too. I must agree with that guy on the spam, ive never had one never one spam message in my inbox, ive got three inboxes. Out of all of my three gmail account, ive had super support ultra spam protection and a amazing service when it is all added up. I love meh gmail account. *Hugs gmail*

my inbox is 22% full and it loads in like 2/3 seconds. im on 1mb broadband connection though, so i dont know about you.

btw, there are either 2 MS employees in this thread, or 2 morons, according to the poll

Gmail is the best. I've been using it for a while, and it rocks. I abandoned Hotmail after years of service, and that's because Gmail wins. No competition. Loads of features, and the disk space you get should be enough to convert you. If anyone's interested, I've got 18 invites ready to go. lol and someone even voted for Hotmail!! Ha Ha!! Funny stuff. Needs an emoticon. How could Hotmail POSSIBLY be better? 2mb storage space? Bye Gatesey!

Gmail is certainly better... there is no "Microsoft" on it, there is 1gb of free space, you have to be invited ... and it's getting better while it's in beta...
Hotmail is worst... there is "microsoft" on it, there is only 10mb (I guess) of free space.
P.S.:You don't need to have a hotmail/msn to use MSN Messenger!!!

Haha, you guys are actually right. I don't check my mail too often because I'm lazy like that and I hated how slow it was, but it could've just been one time or something. I went and checked my mail yesterday and it was super fast. I was like o_O And I finally got to answer all those people who go like "HEY! You're ignoring me!" >_>' Ah well, now Gmail is better except for the emptying spam thing. ^_~
