Only a week after it had no comment on upping the storage capacity of its Hotmail E-mail service, Microsoft said early Thursday that it's boosting the allowance to 250 Mbytes to follow similar moves by rivals such as Google, Yahoo, and Lycos.

In the latest development in the free E-mail space race, Microsoft will take Hotmail in-boxes from the current 2 Mbytes storage allotment to 250 Mbytes beginning in early July, said Blake Irving, an MSN VP.
