Re: MSN Closing

Every now and then similar stuff is rumoured, its going to close or it’s going to charge for messenger usage etc.

Not heard anything myself, until an official announcement is made just ignore it.

Re: MSN Closing

Its definitely a hoax. Why on earth would Microsoft get rid of something that must earn them a fortune in ad revenue and gets their name across. :P
