 MSN.CM
(The Microsoft Network) is a collection of Internet services
provided by Microsoft. The
Microsoft Network debuted as an online service and Internet
service provider on August 24, 1995, to coincide with the release
of the Windows 95 operating system.
ww.MSN.ca is the Canadian
MSN Site.
The range of services
offered by MSN has changed significantly since its initial
release in 1995. MSN was once a simple online service for Windows
95, an ambitious experiment at interactive multimedia content on
the Internet that was ahead of its time, and one of the most
popular dial-up Internet service providers.
Microsoft used the MSN brand name to launch and promote numerous
popular web-based services in the late 1990s, most notably Hotmail
and Messenger, before reorganizing many of them in 2006 under a
new brand name, Windows Live. MSN's Internet portal, MSN.com,
still offers a wealth of content and is currently the 5th most
visited domain name on the Internet. MSN.cm and MSN.co
are mistyping of MSN.COM
MSNHotmail.COM
MSNHotmail is a free web-based e-mail service by Microsoft.
Originally started as an independent service in 1996, it became
part of the MSN family in 1997. Since 2006, it has been part of
Microsoft's Windows Live group of online services. Hotmail has
over 380 million users worldwide and is available in 35 languages.
MSNMessenger.com
MSN.CM launched an instant messaging service in 1999 to
compete with AOL Instant Messenger, which was originally known as
"MSN Messenger Service" and was later shortened to simply "MSN
Messenger." Currently, the underlying technology is known as ".NET
Messenger Service," while Windows Live Messenger is the name of
the main program used to access the service. Regardless, the term
"MSN" has come to be synonymous with the service in Internet
slang.
