On the March 12th show you had stated that Microsoft was discontinuing MSN service for the mac. While this is true in a way, what I understood from the CNet article was that they were discontinuing the Mac version of the MSN browser which was a quick way to access all the MSN services (email, photos, maps, money, etc)
CNET writes: Under a deal from years ago with Qwest, Microsoft is required to offer Internet access to Mac users. Therefore, customers will still be able to buy $22-a-month Internet access from Microsoft. However, the company will not offer any local software and customers will have to log on using the Mac’s built-in Internet Connect dialer.
and The company will also still allow those with their own Internet access to pay for a collection of browser-based MyMSN services, including 2GB of Hotmail storage, Encarta Premium and Money Plus. In theory, customers can continue to pay Microsoft between $10 and $27 a month for that option.
All the services are still available to Mac users, they will just need to use a “regular” browser (firefox, safari) to access them.
