Microsoft introduces Outlook Live

Sarah Perez on April 14th, 2005

Outlook_liveMicrosoft is still trying to figure out a way to get people to pay for the increased email storage, instead of giving it away, like Google’s Gmail. So their latest scheme is "Outlook Live" Basically, it’s Outlook 2003 downloading your Hotmail email - a service that they used to offer for free. Now it’s $44.95 per year. Oh, but you get 2 whole Gigs of storage - and if you watch the demo/promo at the Outlook Live website, it will tell you that 2GB is 2 billion bytes! Oooooooohhhh, aaaaaaaahhhhh. Yep, I’m sticking with Gmail, thank you very much.
