MSN, on the other hand, has not been a huge success. Do they even make money on it? I don't believe they ever planned to make money with MSN. MSN is more of a strategic wedge to control important Internet content (real estate, auto sales, encyclopedias, city guides, etc.), which control will afford them leverage to maintain control of their browser monopoly and to monopolize new markets like servers and .Net services. .Net, in turn, is their attempt to control all electronic commerce on the planet. If Microsoft's immense lobbying arm is successful--and it seems to be working on Bush's lobby-friendly Army of Whores--they will not be punished for any of this leveraged monopolization, which is all of course strictly forbidden by U.S. Antitrust Law.
