MSN (or Microsoft Network) is an internet service provider and web portal (initially meant to be a parallel net to the Internet) created by Microsoft on August 24, 1995, coinciding with the release of Windows 95. The MSN moniker has since been extended to Microsoft's Hotmail webmail service and the MSN Messenger instant messaging client, as well as other Microsoft-branded websites.

 

With 9 million subscribers, MSN is the second largest internet service provider in the United States behind Time Warner's America Online service with 26.5 million.

 

MSN.com is now the #2 most visited English website on the internet, behind #1 competitor Yahoo!'s Yahoo.com, due in no small part to the page being the default home page for the Internet Explorer web browser.

 

Recently the word "MSN" has come to be synonymous with "MSN Messenger" in internet slang. I.E people use phrases like: "I'll send it to you on MSN" "To use MSN Messenger, the users must have a Microsoft .NET Passport.
