There was a desktop client, various services, and a monthly fee. That all seemed to go "poof" when they switched to a web-based offering. MSN Explorer looks like it was a step in that direction again, and MSN 8 is aiming straight at the heart of AOL - and based on the feature list I'm seeing, they might make a dent this time. What Thoughts reader Paul pointed out, however, was this interesting bit of info: "IntelliSync for MSN. MSN Mail users can synchronize appointments, contacts, tasks and notes with personal information managers such as PDA devices (including Pocket PCs or Palm OS-based handheld devices) and Microsoft Outlook." Sounds pretty cool! The other features sound quite compelling as well - but it all depends on the monthly costs for those of us that already have an ISP.

My former ISP handed me off to MSN about 8 months ago and the service has been lousy. I don't know if it's because they are having growing pains or what, but until they get that done.... :x

Yup, they must have. It said "NDA" at the top, but I figured that since it was on a public site with no password protection, that must have been a mistake. Oops. :roll:
