 I AM talking about their ISP. The first implementation was almost as
 bad as Windows 1.x
In fact as I recal iot was specidficly that you could ONLY use MS IE and
Outlook and there were aslo some things that Locked you into Hotmail.
But as I said they have loosened the Strangle Hold i nthe Uasers a
litrle but it is styil a VERY poor ISP overal lcompaired bo what is
avaiable out there. Intersstingly NetZero in one of the highest rated
independent ISP's. Along with CopperNet ans one other I don't recall at
the moment. A::quite a biot Cheaper then the MSN Isp/
