    MSN Toolbar Beta....any takers!!

    http://toolbar.msn.com

    The new Toolbar will provide people with access to MSN's most popular services.

    The customizable MSN Toolbar buttons will offer one-click access to MSN Hotmail, MSN Messenger, My MSN, MSN Search, and MSNBC.com. In addition to the one-click access, the MSN Toolbar offers a drop-down menu providing quick access to online information sources for movies from MSN Entertainment, finances from MSN Money, online bargains from MSN Shopping, and encyclopedia and dictionary resources from Microsoft Encarta, along with directories from MSN Yellow Pages and MSN White Pages.

    The MSN Toolbar will also offer features including a customizable Pop-Up Blocker and the new Highlight Viewer tool, a feature that makes it easier for customers to find what they are searching for on the Web.

    "The MSN Toolbar enables people to easily access their favourite services regardless of their online location," said Yusuf Mehdi, Microsoft corporate vice president for MSN Personal Services. "By offering innovative services like the Highlight Viewer tool and seamless access to world-leading communication services like MSN Hotmail and MSN Messenger, we're helping people be more efficient online."

    MSN will automatically update the features as enhancements and new versions of the MSN Toolbar become available, with no need for any additional download.

    System Requirements:
    • Microsoft Windows 98/ME/2000/XP
    • Microsoft Internet Explorer version 5.01 or later

    Ooow, look at that, a customizable pop-up blocker! Guess I can get rid of Mozilla then.

    Did you notice the letter combination MSN is used 19 times in the quoted bit? This is one of the things I don't like about Microsoft: if you install Office on your computer, the M-word is inserted into your Start menu about 60 times.

    Like they won't sue anyone who dares name their database product Access (for instance) for everything they've got. Like we're really likely to forget it was Microsoft who brought us wonderful inventions like the Office paperclip.

    But I digress. A beta version of an MSN toolbar? Erm, no thanks.
