Comments on: Microsoft to kill MSN for the Mac

Software maker says it will discontinue its dial-up software for Mac users. Perhaps Apples and butterflies don't get along.

ROTFLMAO

Used to have Qwest powered by MSN on my Mac, as a carry over from using it on my retired DULL. What a joke, MSN never supported the ability of having 2 different MSN users in the same household, and MSN Video only works on a PC. So what exactly was the point?

So for a year I've been using Qwest 1.5Mb DSL with their own ISP and saving about $8 a month now for NOT using MSN, using Entourage to talk to Hotmail. So really tell it like it is, MSN on a Mac is throwing money away, and I'm sure that most Mac users figured that out a long time ago.

MSN and Qwest?????
by Earl Benser March 12, 2005 1:59 AM PST
Two major losers.

MSN is a garbage site like AOL.

Qwest is over-priced and under performing.

Get either a cable modem or, for DSL or Dial-Up, any othe ISP
offering email. Get your own hard drive. Find Encarta and Money
at a flea market or used computer store. Use Safari or FireFox,
plus Mail or Thunderbird,

See how the real world lives.

MSN for Mac goes "bye-bye"?
by Batchain March 15, 2005 1:36 AM PST
Who gives a f---? Microsoft still thinks they're "the only game in
town"? Well, let them now try to do away with "MS Office for
Mac"! No, no, I don't think so. They really hate nasty things like
huge losses in profit. What else do Mac users really care about
that Microsoft puts out? Nothing!
