Any word on this or MSN Premium 10? MSN Premium 9.5 is pretty lame, no tabbed browsing or other IE7-esque features. Surely they have something planned, I am paying $$ per month for this and want to know where the future lies. Thanks.

I don't think there will be a new one (I might be wrong), they do have windows mail live desktop, that's kinda msn premium replacement, plus msn premium has a really disappointed sell, so...

Remember msn premium's biggest competier is AOL, and just like always Microsoft want to be everyone, now there is no AOL no more, and the big man for the internet is google, so all new microsoft live service will look up to (copy) google

The good thing tho, they finished their vista, so they must have lots developpers free for doing other projects.

MSN Premium is an all-inclusive web browser, email, software package. WLM Desktop is more like Outlook.

There is no more need to have a program with everything built in. Windows already comes with Windows Mail, they have Outlook for busineses and premium users, and Internet Explorer and Firefox are the main browsers that everyone uses. I would like to see instead of Windows Live Desktop mail they should just integrate it into Windows Mail so there isn't duplication in the programs. But the stuff they are moving towards with the Windows Live brand, is to compete with Google as stated. Having a totaly seperate software suite for paying customers just won't work when everything is free these days.

You make it sound as if IE6 and OE6 were previously paid services. They have always been free and despite that fact, people still pay and continue to pay for MSN Premium. MSN Premium is more than just a mail program and browser. It also includes up to ten Hotmail Premium enabled accounts, ad-free Windows Live experience including Mail & Spaces, McAfee Security Suite (much talk about OneCare being the successor feature), Webroot SpySweeper, Outlook Connector, and other premium options. There is a market for people that want to pay for premium services. The problem is there seems to be no info about a new version. 9.5 was just released, but it's nothing really new. I hope they announce something soon.

I'm a MSN Premium user. I enjoy how I can read my email, calendar, and address book offline. The Photo Sharing is nice also.

Hi. Will be there any updgrades of MSN Premium Software? I love MSN Explorer, but i miss funcitons like tabbed browsing, skinning (or coloring), etc.
MSN Premium 10 would be great to released!

I was told in May to expect 4GB for Premium mail accounts and other updates. I hope they get MSN 10/Windows Live Premium 10 going soon. Starting to get annoyed with MSN Explorer.

MSN is building it, if you wait, it will come.

Yes. There is a MSN 10 not Live, MSN 10 Premium on the way.

I will post it when they release it.

Who knows... someone might beat me to the punch.

Please don't bump year old topics.

Thanks

uhhh... I'm just answering the question to the thread. It's better than creating a new thread with the same question that has been asked in this one. Ain't message boards for questions to get answered by others whenever the answer comes along?

It's not my fault MSN releases updates yearly.

Still using MSN Premium. I use MSN Premium for the Email, Calendar, and Photo Sharing, and Firefox for browsing.

Hey guys, what version of MSN Premium do you have? Mine was acting strangely, so I unstalled and reinstalled, and now it's 9.60.0053.2200. Not sure if it's an upgrade or if I just never noticed that I was on 9.6 before. I don't see any changes yet.

Doesn't work very well for me. I delete emails and they simply come back.

Any news on Live Explorer or MSN 10?

I love the toolbar which is great and all but what about the premium upgrade?
