The Microsoft Network

Jump to user comments

networking (MSN) Microsoft's ISP and online content

service, launched in October 1996. Not to be confused with

Microsoft Networking.

MSN was originally based on custom software and protocols,

however Microsoft saw the error of their ways and adopted

Internet standards. MSN now provides standard WWW and

email facilities, albeit with Microsoft's InternetExplorer web-browser and the Outlook Express email

software.

The service also provides "Community Services" including

newsgroups, forums, and chat.
