This is the most effective advertisement I've ever seen in my entire life. Yeah, Chrome won me.

There's your first problem... if you were using Firefox with AdBlock, you wouldn't even have seen the ad for Chrome. And you'd be safe as well.

Switched to Google Crome a while back and loving it.

What annoyed me about MS is that my Hotmail account was hacked and they did not give a fat rats bum... Since being with gmail I do not get spam and can access mail on my mobile at warp speed...

MS can suck my sack.

As far as I'm aware, Hotmail is pretty susceptible to being hacked for quite a while now.

Gmail - Best free email client I've found.

Why are people still on IE?:gob: Firefox and Chrome, hell even Opera (just naming a few here) are better!

Still popular because of ActiveX & Remote Web Workplace.

Outlook Web Access as well... loads in others, but not the same functionality.
