Gmail isn't scalable?

I've see this post on Robert Scoble's blog and on it there's something that sounds strange for me: Gmail isn't scalable???

Are you sure Robert that the biggest email system around, based on thousand servers around the world, with the quickest interface I've ever seen on an email system with these dimensions, isn't scalable? I'm not so sure...

Gmail at the moment is the number one email system for quality (and for dimension too, but this is not the point in exam) and for responsiveness, and seeing that Google is continuously sending out a lot of invites while increasing storage at the same time is a sign that the application doesn't have any problems scaling up.

I think that Hotmail has something to learn instead...
