1) Microsoft promised to give free 250MB hotmail from 1st July, but until now my hotmail storage capacity is not increased, why?

2) I send my email to queue for Gmail several times, but still can't get its reply, why?

1) i dunno. hotmail is sloppy i guess. i hear if you sign up for @msn you will get 2GB now.

2) I haven't gotten invites in weeks, I'm sure the same is true for others.
