No question at all! Gmail is of course better than Hotmail. Like many of the posts before, I must restate that there is no competition. Use Gmail if you know what is good for you.

1. Gmail is much faster. It uses AJAX. Hotmail doesn't. It takes years to load.

2. This allows Gmail to have more features, like browser-chat, labels, sideboxes, since they load instantly. Imagine having sideboxes in Hotmail, like "Labels." You click and the whole page loads.

3. Gmail auto-saves your drafts. I don't know about Hotmail. It didn't when I left.

4. Gmail prevents you from navigating away by showing a pop-up warn when you are in the compose mode. Hotmail doesn't.

5. Gmail offers approx. 3GB of space. Take that, Hotmail.

6. Gmail Notifier fits into Firefox. Hotmail fits into an external application, MSN Messenger.

I don't mind logging in to Gmail and logging out. It is almost instant. I hate signing in to Hotmail. But of course, Gmail chat cannot surpass MSN Messenger.

If I have said anything that isn't factual, do forgive my ignorance. I left Hotmail long ago. Check it out: 86.61% for Gmail

GMail gets my vote for simplicity and sheer power, yet everyone has my Hotmail e-mail address. I use GMail for file storage or attachments, largely, so if I know there's a huge load coming in, I send people to the e-mail address that can hold that. However, everything I've ever signed up for comes to my Hotmail. It's hard to switch when you know one is good but one has history.

I wish MSN made their homepage a lot easier to navigate. The Hotmail interface is decently easy, but MSN? I have to look all over the place for the link that says "Hotmail".

Perhaps you should give us your opinion too, because if we replyed as you did, this would be a spam topic, ok?

Now, hotmail is over, and i mean it literally, hotmail doesn't even let us receive emails with outlook express, so, how bad is it!?

I prefer gmail, 1000000 times over hotmail, for many different reasons.

My vote goes for GMail.
It has approx 2.75 GB and that is an whole lot of an space, it is cool when I have to save files, I use it as my online harddrive.
It is faster, loads almost instantly, no problem when signing in or out, I hate signing in or out out of Hotmail.
GMail is by Google so it is certified to ROCK.
Hotmail is by M$ and hence it is certified to SUCK.

Not much of a contest but Gmail is definately better than hotmail. The main reason is the space, with as much space as gmail gives you there is virtually no way to run out. I also like how Gmail has invites, I think that eliminates people getting multiple accounts for no reason, even though there is still a way it makes it a little more difficult.

I also like the way Gmail is set up, I like the way you navigate through your email and the search features they have. When Gmail first came out it was the email service out there, but now that they have been out for a while other email services are starting to give out a little more to try and compete with Gmail.
