    Well, MSN is dead, regardless of Mac OS or Windows.

    Does anyone know how many Mac developers their are in the MacBU? They claim to have the second largest group of developers (1st being Apple) but the evidence of that in product releases is slim.



    About 150, IIRC.

    In America maybe. Elsewhere it's the predominant instant messaging platform.

    Er, if you're talking about MSN Messenger, that's being re-branded as Windows Live Messenger.



    MSN, as a brand, is dead.

    Whatever man. MSN was a branding, and Windows Live / Office Live are a branding, too. Personally, I feel the latter makes a lot more sense.
