Is msn:wh magazine returning in 2005? I recently visited the site and it seems that they have changed thier introduction page. The online e-zine released an extremely popular issue (0804) in August 2004. Once plans began for the next issue, msn:wh magazine went offline. But it seems that there maybe a new issue in the works. It can't be confirmed because Victr, the Editor in Chief, isn't responding to emails. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
The msn:WH Magazine is located at msnwh.com.
A seemingly innocuous box on the screen inside the latest MSN instant-messaging program provides a clue to Microsoft's broader strategy in the search business.
The rectangular box, embedded in a preview version of the company's MSN Messenger 7.0, is a search field. Users will be able to launch Internet searches directly from that field, automatically opening a Web browser to display the relevant results on an Internet search site.
And as you've probably guessed, the search site it uses is not Google. (TabServe can make it use Google, though!)
The feature sends people to Microsoft's MSN Search service. In the process, it demonstrates what promises to be one of the Redmond company's main advantages as it tries to come from behind in the search business — its ready access to hundreds of millions of people already using its various types of computer software.
Microsoft has released MSN Messenger 7 as a public beta, this is the same 425 build that was released to selected beta testers earlier. Noticable changes are the MSN Spaces intergration is completed and working, this was a server side change and required no update to the client.
