This could mean only one thing. More viruses to attack me while I am online! This is precisely why I stopped using MSN and now they are buying YAHOO! Not to mention, MSN is so slow and the system crashes very easily! I hope GOOGLE outbids MSN!
Microsoft seems to be showing desperation? With all their hype over MSN Web Live I guess they think they still need the edge to beat Google.
