I wouldn't bother with it. The browser is probably MSN's "browser", which is total ****

The MSN browser is not total **** as you put it weazel. Try reading something up before you just flame it and put it down on a whim or even better, use it.

The MSN browser and premium pack merges all MSN features and it is very very good if you use the MSN Hotmail, Messenger services. The browser is IE at heart, but that is irrelevant to what you actually get with your premium package.

Crake: For what you get it is definitely worth it.

The MSN Browser supports multiple user accounts and the way it intertwines with the other services is seamless. Mind, it is quite a graphically intense GUI, but on anything above a 500mhz machine it should have no real notable effects.

"Up to 11 personalised e-mail addresses, each with a 2GB inbox", I think that adds up to quite a lot, don't you?

The browser is feature packed and it is customised around you, and where you live.

It is very good, and with the prospects of IE 7, I think it can only get better.

Well okay, sorry....my personal experience with MSN's own browser hasn't been good, that's all.

In terms of the package, it sounds good. The package itself is pretty good, although you can get Gmail accounts for free ;)

on the rare occasions i used MSN Explorer or whatever it's called, i spent most of my time trying to find the butons in the all the chrome :p

personnaly i wouldn't use it because i wouldn't use half the features (got firefox, gmail, AVG, rarely surf french sites anyway) its just doing eveything the MSN way. if you aren't picky about the apps you use go for it, but i'm betting alot of people (probably a large majority on this board) will be prepared to try differn't programs from differn't vendors to get the best out of their computer
