Not to mention that Gmail's delete and archive buttons don't work in IE6.Thank god I fixed that problem. Faulty ram corrupted the disk drive, and now that IE6 doesn't exist.My Mom still doesn't like IE7, but at least it's not 6.
I dont think the bigger problem people have with microsoft is that they screw up form time to time ( every one does ) people are more upset about Microsoft being ... eh, evil ... And when microsoft screwup worldwide systems get compromised, which is a ways off 60 people losing their emails.to paraphrase from spiderman " with great power comes great responsibility " people would go ape s**t if their entire enterprise got halted to a stop regardless who f**ked up (MS/Google)
It's a free service. You get what you pay for.How many hundreds of Gmail users accidentally erase whole folders of email (if not all the contents of their Gmailbox) everyday? This is a non-event.

True, however, what about those of us who have over 200MB of email and are still on dial-up?

I think Google should have had backups in this case.
