Talk:MSN Explorer

! MSN 9.5 is not compatible with Windows Vista. It will load the sign in page... but go no further. I have removed the compatible with Vista area.

NPOV?
I believe that this article needs to be cleaned up, as it seems to me to be quite one-sided, almost like a free advert for MSN Explorer through Wikipedia, due to POV problems. I agree that its features need to be explained, but to say its "still a very good browser" even if you're not a beginner seems to go against the grain of Wikipedia's NPOV policies. Should the cleanup tag be added? Andrew 00:08, 2 November 2005 (UTC)

I agree and have cleaned the artical up a bit. I don't think it sounds as much like an add anymore, but its VERY short...I think its almost at the point where its a respectable stub but not quite there yet.--Canageek 00:02, 21 November 2005 (UTC)


 * I wouldn't call MSN Explorer a web browser by itself. It's technically just a refreshed user interface for IE. - Sikon 17:13, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Faster how?
From the article...
 * "However, some people may consider MSN Explorer to work faster than Internet Explorer."

"Work faster" how? By having the user more efficiently navigate through the UI and get to the sites he/she wants to? Or because the renderer works faster? The latter should be out of the question anyway, because this uses the Internet Explorer engine. I'm not sure what that sentence meant, really. -- &mdash; Northgrove 12:54, 4 June 2007 (UTC)


 * My MSN browser actually does load pages faster than my Internet Explorer browser.--71.107.146.164 05:23, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Version 7 incompatable with WLM 8.5
Apparently if you try to sign in to MSN and have the current version of WLM, MSN says it's damaged and asks to repair, in which it fails, and prevents the user from using it. &quot;Dakota&quot; (talk) 03:40, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

I deleted the "faster than IE" comments. Anecdotes do not support this assertion; if it is to be made at all, a link showing scientific evidence of this should be shown. Whether or not it's faster than this or that is not relevant in any case, IMO.

I also have a problem with the "developed by Microsoft" comments, given their long history of theft and copyright infringement, I think it would be a good idea to research and prove that MS actually DID develop the product before stating it as fact.

Further, given that both IE and MSN are bundled into the XP (and Vista?) Operating Systems, I think that wiki Users first questions would be why this is, what purpose does each serve and can either of them be removed without ill effect, as well as other browser options available to them. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.148.245.155 (talk) 00:34, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

E-mail
I remember an early version of MSN Explorer had its own e-mail software, as opposed to the Hotmail format it has now. If anyone has information about this please put it forth. - Dudesleeper / Talk  21:11, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

MSN Explorer 6 and 7 and the last free one in XPSP1 ( 7.0.2 )are compatible with Windows Messenger ( not WLM or MSN Messenger ) 5.1 ( free download for Win2k SP4 and XPSP1-SP3 on download.microsoft.com )

just uninstall all instances of WLM or MSN Msgr, fire up MSN Explorer and it will use WM 5.1 for the chat features.
