Microsoft Pulls Plug on MSN for Mac

Microsoft announced Friday that it is no longer supporting the Mac OS X version of MSN after May 31. The company said it will send a notice to all of its Mac-based subscribers through the next several weeks. While MSN is ending its run on the Mac, Microsoft said it still intends to support Apple's flaghsip OS and points to updates to MSN Messenger and Office:mac that are due later this year.

"Instead of accessing MSN services using the MSN for Mac OS X Internet software, customers will access MSN services and features with their preferred browser and by setting up a My MSN page as a portal to their favorite online destinations," Microsoft said in a statement.
