In a speedy timeframe eerily reminiscent of the Netscape-Internet Explorer browser wars of the late 1990s, MSN is preparing to issue an upgraded version of MSN Explorer only seven months following the previous release. In MSN Explorer, Microsoft had finally fulfilled a long standing urge to re-launch MSN with an integrated client, or "experience" as the buzzword goes these days. Microsoft first drafted such plans as far back as 1998, when it was internally referred to as One-Click MSN, or occasionally, the Immersive MSN Client.
