This is not free, do not download unless you are a subscriber to the software. It is a good browser. Please install with caution

MSN 9.5 (Released November 2006)

OK Release :) Messenger is integrated back into the browser and it's still very fast. IE6 users will love the speed it gives. So will IE7 users(which I recommend staying with IE6 because it loads pages correctly and this browser makes it load pages faster than IE7 anyways).

Im only giving this thing a 2 because it sure is great, but takes way too much RAM, over 70MB on my machine (MSN 9 + MSN Messenger (because you can't close it with MSN 9 open) + msniasvc.exe (MSN's Internet Access System Service)), which is even more than AOL 9 on my machine (~60MB)

Ugh...

Very fine program, Like most others have said this is for paid subscribers, just like the aol beta were for AOL subscribers, the msn service was never free. The Program you all are used to using is the MSN Browser that came with XP. I give this Program 5 stars. I am an MSN subscriber and appreciate this latest beta very much.

I am giving this a 5 because out of all the cheap-o whining people out there giving it a 1. Not one of them had a real legit excuse why this was givin a 1 star other than , I guess they must be poor and they want everything for free. Now why don't you people explain problems within the program itself if there are any and quit acting like b!t(he$ and crying about the money.

I wish that some of you guys would just stop giving MSN 1 star just because you have to be a payed member. Duh you have to be a paid member. MSN started charging last october for broadband users because it wasn't fair that Cable Internet was free but Dial-Up had to pay so now everyone has to pay. It's only 9.95 a month. And anyway, this is not for you to rate if it should charge or not, this is for you to test MSN to see whats good and whats bad about the program, not the cost of it.

Terrible, just terrible. Who would want to use this anyway, it doesn't do anything that Internet Explorer, MSN Messenger (and a few other programs) don't do already. Windows XP is bright enough already, the last thing you need is this. To their credit, it is better than any offering from AOL.

This does blow - MS says "To use MSN on this computer, you must have signed up for MSN. You can also have the account manager add you as a member of his or her account."
