Hi Omar,

Glad you are on a kick ass team... that means you can clarify what "multiple markets" will get the 250mb of space. Will the US be one of these markets? Which markets will not receive the upgrade?

Thanks, looking forward to alot less stonewalling by hotmail, I too believe it can be cool again!

Is there any possibility that the new hot Hotmail can stop giving me Finnish links and ads with my English hotmail (hotmail.com)?

Obviously they are picking up on my Locale (which I have for sorts and ".", "," in numbers) but it should be picking up on the setting for IE itself which is set to UK.

Also if I have hotmail.com open and I type in hotmail.com again, can it please assume I want to change users instead of asking me *every time*?

Duncan, the US is one of those markets.

Omar, can you give us some insight on why IE 5 for the Mac seems to be so performance challenged in comparison to Safari and Firebird? Thanks

Would it matter? IE 5 for Mac is no longer in development.

Omar, the main reason I switched from Hotmail to Yahoo is because Hotmail hijacks every single link in your email message and routes it to an interception server.

Why should the Hotmail folks be interested in what sites I visit by clicking on links in my private emails? I believe it's a gross violation of users' privacy.
<p>
Not only that, the window it opens with the MSN top frame steals valuable screen estate from the browser window.

Homan-

That very annoying feature is scheduled to be removed soon. I agree it sucks.
