I never went to MSN for anything other than the boards for the last several years. During the Iraq war, most of the mainstream news outlets lost all credibility when they dropped even the pretense of objectivity, but I still liked the money boards. Now, I don't go to MSN for anything.
Take a look at all the people registered on this site. How can they afford to keep alienating people?

I haven't been there either. Of course, I pretty much only went there for the boards.

I think I've been back 2-3 times. The whole format has changed and IMO is horrible. It is also hard on my eyes (white background).
All in all, I don't think I'm missing anything. I'm not into investing and my finances are pretty straightforward so I can find the info I need here or by using a search engine.

No reason to go to MSN, or keep it as a home page. All the best people are here anyway, right? OT to Paul: so, does the weather here beat Chicago, or what?  |

I still use hotmail as my personal email, and when you log off it throws you into the main page. I read the headlines sometimes, but not nearly as much as I did before. I almost never click through, whereas I believe it use to be my main source of information on everything.

I still keep up with market activities there. I maintain a watchlist and a portfolio tracker for things that trade during the day. Their library of trackable securities is reduced from the old version.
The idea that message board postings have any relationship to the profitability of Microsoft is simply ludicrous.

No, we don't walk away. But when we're holding on to something precious, we run.

I still hang out on msn's pregnancy boards. And all I used the hotmail account for is the boards.
