It's inaccurate: the stats are only for Australia and show that Hotmail is much more used than Gmail.

Hotmail – 3.91 mil
Gmail – 0.45 mil

But the growth metrics for this demographic area is still high!!

114% vs 16% is quite a kickass leverage.. It will be interesting to see other stat's from other countries too!!

I still remember when Hotmail had 2 MB. TWO megabytes, and then Gmail arrived with 1 GB. No wonder Gmail is leaving Hotmail in the dust, even though the competition now tries to stack up on features and storage... too late for some.

My teenage brother grew 2 inches this year. I didn't grow any. True, but offers no reason to believe he'll be taller than me.
