MSN.com

MSN.com is a website that is made to do it all. Every since Microsoft melded together with MSN.com, they've really begun packing some heat as a top popularity website. They have e-mail accounts, their own Instant Messenger, Games, Forums, Stock Prices, and more. All these features are real cool and everything, but honestly, I don't really like it. But I am a very minimalistic person, so all these cluttered up boxes for different topics doesn't really do me too good.

Their e-mail service is decent. A modest spam-filter, but a gigantic free e-mail storage space. Before the Microsoft merge, it was about 25 megabytes. After the merge, it is 5 gigabytes, thats 5000 megabytes. Of course there are rivals that out-do even that massive storage space, like Google's gMail.

Everything that you can do on MSN.com that requires access needs a Windows Live account, which can be created on the MSN website. This is also good for all Microsoft accounts as well, as it's all linked together.

You must remember that MSN is originally a news company, so you will find news on every topic in the world all in one place on this website. On the main page many different category boxes should be there with different kinds of news in each one. The news does not require a Windows Live account to view.

I give it a 3/5.
