MSN

MSN (or The Microsoft Network) is a collection of Internet services provided by Microsoft

MSN was originally conceived as an online service provider in the vein of America Online (AOL), supplying local and proprietary content through an interface that matched that of Windows Explorer. Following the rapid adoption of the Internet, the service was then rebranded in a new 'MSN 2.0' incarnation, which combined access to the Internet with web delivered proprietary content.

The new content made extensive use of multimedia and interactive features, including VBScript and early implementations of Macromedia Flash for animations. While the approach was quite unique, the content wasn't easily accessible by users with low-end computers and dial-up connections (high-bandwidth Internet access hadn't yet hit the mainstream). As a result, the service was again rebranded as a more traditional Internet service provider. In 2000, MSN adopted its current multi-colored 'butterfly' logo.
