Microsoft officials have set a launch date for their latest iteration of MSN, aimed at taking the Internet experience to the "next level." For now, the MSN marketing machine is more interested in getting the word out about its newest catch-phrase describing MSN 8 than providing details of its service, which launches Oct. 24. Microsoft will rely on big budgets and big names to promote the upcoming version of its Internet service -- trotting out both its largest-ever ad campaign and Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates as the opening salvo in Redmond's latest, deep-pocketed bid to topple archrival America Online.
