The MS network

Online services offer “any time” access to the expanding world of electronic information and communication. Microsoft’s goal is to bring the online benefits to PC users. To achieve this goal, Microsoft created an online service, The Microsoft Network, and included worldwide access to The Microsoft Network.

The Microsoft Network (MSN) will bring all customers easy-to-use access to:

§ Electronic mail, for sending messages to and receiving them from other MSN members, or anyone with an electronic mailbox on the Internet.

§ Bulletin boards, for in-depth discussions on a variety of topics, such as hardware or software support from computer companies.

§ Chat rooms, for online conversations and special events with celebrities or business personalities.

§ File Libraries, for easy access to images, add-ins, utilities, and programs that can be copied to the user’s PC.

§ The Internet, for e-mail and “newsgroup” bulletin boards.

In addition, The Microsoft Network offers advanced features such as shortcuts, multitasking, and advanced e-mail services, all presented in a graphical format.
