MSN (originally The Microsoft Network) is a collection of Internet services and web applications provided by Microsoft. Launched on August 24, 1995, to coincide with the release of Windows 95, MSN was initially a subscription-based dial-up online service and later evolved into a popular web portal.
History[edit | edit source]
MSN was launched as a major part of Microsoft's strategy to enter the online services market. Initially, it was a dial-up service that provided access to the Internet and exclusive content. Over time, MSN transitioned into a web portal, offering a variety of services such as email, instant messaging, and news.

MSN offers a wide range of services, including:
- MSN.com: The main web portal, providing news, entertainment, sports, and other content.

Evolution[edit | edit source]
MSN has undergone several transformations since its inception. Initially, it was a dial-up service, but with the rise of broadband Internet, MSN shifted its focus to becoming a web portal. In the early 2000s, MSN introduced a suite of services under the Windows Live brand, which included email, instant messaging, and other online tools. Many of these services have since been rebranded or integrated into other Microsoft products.
