I used to use hotmail before Gmail was available – I hated all the ads. Gmail is a breath of fresh air – the only ads (that I’ve seen so far) are text based and not distracting / annoying.
Changing email address is a big event – like changing physical address you have to spend a lot of time tracking down all the places that need to be updated – you need to be really motivated to want to do it so Google have a tough fight if they want to win some hotmail/yahoo email users – especially since, I expect, many hotmail/yahoo email users also use the IM functionality and want to stay in touch with their friends.
By the end the “invite only” element to gmail became a bit redundant as everyone was given 100 invites at one point; so I’m not surprised that opening it up completely didn’t lead to a signup explosion.
