Microsoft applies lipstick to MSN butterfly
With Windows Live and Bing, Microsoft's MSN butterfly has had its wings ripped from it in recent years MSN was once the flagship of Microsoft's online aspirations, led by the familiar butterfly logo introduced in 2000.

Not so much a service.........
Microsoft W@nkers

The MSN Homepage
The only page on the internet that has a bounce rate to rival gotse.cx.
I'm not sure which one I'd rather not visit more.
hmm..
MS sells an OS that should be used for nothing more than turning a computer into a nice typewriter.
