MS to charge for MSN 8 browser - msn.co.uk for chop? | |

Microsoft is to charge for MSN 8.0, one way or another, and that kind of completes the circle, doesn't it? Giving away the browser for free unleashed many demons, not least of them the Four Attorneys of the Apocalypse, but now you'll either get MSN 8.0 bundled with MSN Internet access or, if you don't have an MSN sub, you'll have to pay if you want it. So what's Microsoft up to here? There are possible legal aspects to it, but the announcement pitches the software rather interestingly. The company will be majoring on parental controls, including email blocking, activity reports and site blocking. It'll also include antivirus software and a firewall, and junk mail tools. | ||

| Hmm, AOL offers AOL 8.0 for free... Of course you need to pay for AOL internet access in order to use it. :-) |

Actually, I know many smart people who use AOL.
One of which is a professor for organic chemistry that USF. Oh yeah, he also does reasearch and recently came up with a cure for an infection that some people get when going to the doctor for something as simple as a cut, and then they come out with a life threatening disease (forget what it's called). Legal Issues? What is a legal issue to The Register? The fact that MS wants money for something they spent a great deal of time creating?

While I too know of many people that use AOL, none of them are stupid. In fact, my dad and stepmom own the site www.carbytes.com and make a part of their living off of it. They travel all over the US, and they are able to always find a local AOL dialup number. Access is their biggest priority.
Believe me when I say, I wish they didn't have it, but they don't have much of a choice. It's either them, MSN, Earthlink or ATT. Since what they have works, they are happy. |

Hey my parents use AOL and are not stupid. They are happy with it and can't justify a cable modem just to check there e-mail. They also do not want to change there address either. But they are not stupid, just not quite computer savy.
On other news,#9 did it actually say that autocomplete, print preview and history were new features? God those have all been in IE for the last 2-3 years. |

Springman, him, and a group of other researchers at the university cured it.
I'm just saying that not AOL people are dumb, just like not all computer illeterate people are dumb. |
