MSN Explorer

Pros: Excellent MSN integration,small download, imported IE favorites, rather fun to use
Cons: Doesn't tell you where that link is going to take you, web forms wiped out if you change page, no refresh button on toolbar, not really that much more than a prettier IE, not truly completely for beginners, Microsoft haters will despise

MSN Explorer is Microsoft's (more specifically Microsoft Network) latest attempt at an easy to use, integrated web browser that caters to newer users. Somewhat similar to America Online (not a surprise considering that MSN has been copying AOL for...

Pros: puts commonly used Internet features a mouse click away, fun interface, easy for beginners
Cons: multi-tasking nightmare, favorites interface reeks, can't customize some things

The MSN Internet Explorer is a customized, stripped-down version of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browser. It is designed to make using features of the Microsoft Network (MSN) easier and more convenient. Given that the product is free from...

Pros: All In One Tie In With Microsoft Web Products/Services
Cons: Occasional logon problems

After watching the promo for MSN Explorer during the World Series, I decided to give it a try and download it during the game.

I'd like to make it clear that you do not need an MSN Internet account to use MSN Explorer, just an e-mail...

Pros: Nice User Interface, Features Email & Instant Messaging Integration
Cons: Lack of Options, Not Too Many Have MSN Messenger, Text Saved In Memory From Browser, POP Mail Feature Gone

Let me start off by saying that MSN did a pretty good job emulating AOL's "all-in-one" browser. I believe most people (new to the internet, etc.) will like this newer browser very much because it is, indeed, very easy to use and can actually be...

Pros: Nice look, Easy to use, All in one program
Cons: Advanced features taken away, Too many advertisements

I've been using normal Internet Explorer for quite a while now and the interface gets pretty boring to look at day after day. For the past couple of weeks I've seen a commercial for the new "MSN Explorer" web browser, it looked easy to use and...

Pros: Pretty, Easy to Use, Media Player
Cons: Bugs, MSN-overkill

MSN Explorer is pretty...that's for sure!
But with a price!

@@@@@@ THE UPSIDES @@@@@@

STEP-BY-STEP FROM THE START
It's a quick download, you can find advertised all over or more directly at...

Pros: All the above
Cons: No refresh Button

Finally there is a browser that is almost as good as internet explorer. There are many other browsers on the internet, including opera, Netscape and so on. But these do not compare to internet explorer when it comes to features, look, and overall...

Pros: Easy to use, visually appealing, free
Cons: Few customization options, stingy on features, MSN-pushy

We recently purchased a new computer that came pre-loaded with Windows XP Home Edition. While in process of customizing and setting up XP, I decided to try out the new MSN Explorer browser included with the OS.

Pros: see review
Cons: see review

I have used Hotmail for about two years now, and whenever I logged in, the banners advertised Microsoft's new MSN Browser. I decided to give it a try--hey, if I didn't like it, I could easily just go back to regular Microsoft Internet Explorer.
...

Pros: Ideal interface for first-time surfers Integrated email, messaging and file storage
Cons: Lacks IE's power and customisation Too closely tied to ninemsn

As Microsoft and Netscape duke it out with their sixth generation browsers (okay, Navigator skipped 5.0, but let's not be picky), Microsoft has also been grooming a new contestant for the ring. MSN Explorer is a revamped edition of Internet Explorer,...

Pros: nice design, easy to navigate, good for novices
Cons: moderately difficult to install and setup, too basic for the average user, too restricting to MSN products, lost Outlook Express capabilities

Msn has introduced an exciting, though a borrowed concept, in its introduction of MSN Explorer 6.0. Its interface is easily navigated and simplistic design makes it a choice for almost all users, regardless of computer background.
Novice users...

Pros: Cute, in a death-by-Hello-Kitty sort of way
Cons: No POP-based email, extremely limiting, crashes often

I had some problems with the original MSN dialup software -- suffice to say many messages were being lost or unsent, and there was much crashing. After several unintentionally amusing episodes involving MSN Member Support, I was told that the only way I...

Pros: Colorful interface
Cons: Lacks many essential & convenient options as a browser AND especially a dial-up client.

It isn't a browser, it's a vacuum. A vacuum that sucks the user into every MSN service available on the internet. And I guess if the user is that hung up on MSN's portal site, this is a worthwhile download. I found it extremely limiting (you can't...

Pros: Good looks, streamlined interface, integrated services, ease of use, features.
Cons: None.

I was fed up! I had been been surfing the Internet for well over ten years and had tried every browser on the market, at one time or another, trying to find a streamlined solution for getting my online chores done.

Banking, paying...

Pros: Any idiot can use this product
Cons: MSN is WATCHING you!

Being the ever evolving computer geek that I am, I recently responded to a web add about the new MSN Explorer. Not just an updated version of IE but an actual new browser that MSN just finished beta testing. My curiosity peaked, I decided to download...
