Thanks Elliot, trust me it wont!

It is a great site! I do use MSN a bit, so I think I'll sign up. But remember, I like Google better...

MSN what? MSN Messenger? Do many people actually use the browser or the internet service?

I remember, years ago, when a friend convinced me that I should get a Hotmail account, so I could use MSN Messenger with her, and a couple of our friends.

So I did, and since I was mucking about with the service, dallied briefly with an MSN account.
It looked very much like any other 'Homepage' with the usual content, and seemed inexplicably difficult to sign into; considering that I'd been thoroughly indoctrinated in the Wonders of the Passport Universe for several days, by then.

The Messenger service still exists, barely-used, nestled snugly in Trillian. Likewise, that original Hotmail account.
It's useful for some correspondence, since it has my actual name for the necessary gravitas of a spam report, but still expendable as spam-fodder, itself.

But the MSN account is a thing that for me exists in theory, only. Like a phone number that I know still works if I call, but I know I won't.

Well, I use MSN Messenger. I've got an account on the Microsoft Passport Network. I mainly use it because it has many features, way more than Google Talk. And yeah, I don't do anything on the actual website.
