Microsoft(MSFT) is adding storage to Windows Live Hotmail and adding a number of additional enhancements to the online service in a competitive move against Google. The company said it will increase the amount of storage space available to Hotmail users from 2 Gbytes to 4 Gbytes for the free version and from 5 Gbytes to 10 Gbytes for the paid version. The move puts the basic version of Hotmail well ahead of Google's comparable product. Gmail features about 2.6 Gbytes of online storage, according to Google. Microsoft's enhancements to Hotmail, which the company said it will roll out "over the next few weeks," go beyond storage.
