  MSN 8 Asks Users to Pay for Some Online Services
Time: 16:00 EST/21:00 GMT | News Source: Gartner | Posted By: Byron Hinson

Microsoft's decision to move MSN to a partial for-pay model reasonably extends the trend in which content and application providers seek financial legitimacy by countering the popular mid-1990s assertion that information ("content" is the more common term in 2002) "wants to be free." The precipitous decline in competition among Internet information and interaction hubs makes the for-pay business model more defensible than ever — the critical issue here.

Lol! It got the job done. I could have put one letter per line, but I wasn't feeling that ambitious.

Bob,

Sorry didn't relize yall took up the challenge to go to 400:)

in #314,

I agree, and I believe that is what I have heard about the .net IE and .net email clients that are in the pipeline.

Besides that I hear another Smart browser that is designed to be plug and play for interal intranets. I believe it is the basis for some of MS newer .net UI interfaces for the CRM group. While it will have a OFFICE look and Feel it will be .net based. With role based secuirty and the like.

So something like a super browser.

I am looking forward to it. if only to get a Sandbox to do things on the web;)

Hmm, that sounds very interesting, El. I guess I must be one of the few who understand what .NET is and what it offers (I'm speaking of course of all the folks who say that .NET is a very unclear, nebulous idea that Microsoft has yet to make more concrete), because I had those ideas about the browser and email client without even doing much thinking on it. It just seemed like the natural reason .NET would be beneficial. If only the rest of the world could see what .NET is and offers, we'd have less fighting about it, and more useful applications written. Here's to hoping!

In case you didn't see it in the other thread, Iria was the anime I was trying to remember a little bit ago.

#374 By 2459 (24.233.39.98) at 9/26/2002 8:52:17 PM
OK. hadn't seen the other thread. Glad you found it.
The link I gave you, http://www.sputnik7.com has streaming anime movies if you want to check them out sometime (not Iria, though).
The direct link to that section of the site is http://www.sputnik7.com/vod/anime

#375 By 1845 (12.254.162.111) at 9/26/2002 11:45:45 PM
Yipee! I'm watching Giant Robo. I much prefer Iria, Evangelian, and Cowboy Bebop, but free is free. Wish my roommate that had them all on DVD hadn't moved to the other side of the country when he got married. Such is life.
