For a product with so many developers behind it, this has a very short features list. The ability to send up to 25 MB of files would be nice, if you didn’t have to store them with Microsoft first. Given the long list of security vulnerabilities in the operating system you could be putting some very important files at a very big risk. These two factors put MSN in the dust, and Brosix in the Winners Box!
