  1. Comment - MSN In Need of an Image Makeover?

    eunichman, I know, thats what the :-P was for! I was being sarcastic back at you.

    guillaumeb, can you explain what you mean when you say "NOBODY can claim to be anti MS because everyone has ever used a MS software and still use MS Word..."

    I can't decide if you are joking or not! I really am anti-MS in quite a big way and I don't use anything from them.

    IMHO the problem starts with Microsoft’s idea that people are going to use them weather they like it or not.

    I’m sure the average user with a new XP install and MSN as the home page will click on a few links because they are there but I doubt they would go to MSN because it’s better than anything else.

    I don’t want to start a MS bashing session here, but I use the tool that is best for the job in hand. I like to look at a few options and choose the best one for my needs. If I want news, I go to the BBC (I’m in the UK) web search: Google, Maps: Map24, Email: Gmail. MSN doesn’t interest me because it’s ok at a load of stuff not really good at one thing. Just like Microsoft.

    Ms are using the Windows business model one MSN, assuming that they have a captive audience that they can pipe anything to rather than trying to be better than anyone else.

    I don’t know about you, but I don’t like having 150 links on one page alone!
