7.31. MSN (Service)

Microsoft is dead serious about challenging America Online for dominance in the easy-to-use online service market. MSN 8 is proving a hit with Windows users: in one single, attractive program, it brings together Web browsing, email (junk mail filters) and multimedia features, plus links to useful Web sites. A key feature for families: The software can email parents a list of what Web sites their kids have visited, and how much time they've spent in chat rooms.

MSN for Mac OS X is no longer a self-standing program; instead, you're supposed to use www.msn.com to access your news, sports information, and so on.

Mac OS X's parental -control features, meanwhile, work regardless of whether you're using MSN or not. You can find them in System Preferences Accounts.
