you should realy go to gmail because:

it has bigger storage for your e-mails etc....
you can get a thing which goes in the corner of your pc screen (the clock bit) that notifys you of new e-mails and unread e-mails.
and it has a better lay out then hotmail + i think you can attach bigger files to your e-mails with it.

hope that helps.

o and i can send the gmail notifyer to any one if they want it just pm me (as long as i can find the setup file)
