SAN FRANCISCO - Microsoft plans to give paying customers for its Hotmail email service 2 gigabytes of storage and boost the size limits on free accounts, matching similar moves earlier this month by rival Yahoo , the company said on Wednesday .

Microsoft also said that it will roll out free email and anti-virus protection to all the 170 million MSN Hotmail customers worldwide that will both scan and clean incoming and outgoing email for viruses and worms before they can enter a customer's inbox .

The changes will start early in July, Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft said .

247340 2004-06-24 23:44:00 What about the Register Article that states that Hotmail accounts are being closed down without investigation!

All you need is to be 'tipped off' and they'll close you down without giving it a second thought.

Sad for all those who use the accounts for legit purposes!

Personally Im content with my orcon account and using it on the MSN Network :-)
