MSN 2010

Microsoft reveals its MSN's 2009 redesign, which features a new logo and new look with fewer links and more videos and images. For more on the new MSN, read Mary Jo Foley's blog. It's slated to go live in early 2010.

This gallery showing the evolution of MSN was first published in June, 2009 - minus the new screenshots, of course.

The original MSN

Wasn't the original MSN a dial-up service like AOL? I'm a little fuzzy, but I seem to remember it being touted as an Internet killer, and it was a service, not simply a web site. Anybody remember?

You are correct, it was a fee based service that

allowed you to dial in like AOL, CompuServ,etc.

And before the 1996 MSN there was MSSidewalk, which combined local news and entertainment with national news. It also included tests and tips about subjects ranging from automobiles to appliances. It was so good that I would gladly pay a fee to have it again!
