  Microsoft mulling fee-based services for MSN
Time: 13:42 EST/18:42 GMT | News Source: CNET | Posted By: Robert Stein

Microsoft, apparently serious about turning software into a service, is testing the waters with a number of new, fee-based MSN services including virus protection, music subscriptions and even an e-mail-via-phone plan, sources say.

The plans to enhance MSN offerings come as Microsoft is working overtime to add .Net "software as a service" hooks to its various operating system and applications software. .Net is Microsoft's initiative for turning software into a service business, helping the company expand revenue sources beyond its traditional application sales.
