Yeah...it's a big shame that it had to happen like that. I just know that paedophiles and sex offenders will find another way to exploit innocent people and kids. :|
 
MSN still alive...

Good news that the fact is MSN deffo stay online for eveyone but not to the "chatroom". So you dont have to worry about it for now.

MSN do make a huge profit because of the advertisement like banner, links, etc etc.

So anyone agree with this?

I doubt it.

In fact, they haven't been able to make a profit off the MSN internet service too as well and they've been providing the internet service for 8 years.

The reason why MSN Messengers are here to stay is because they can afford it and it's good for their publicity.

The fact is MSN do make a lot of money through from UK Online, Expendia, Money, shopping, advertise, banners etc. If they offer you for free service then how they improve the service as MSN get better everytime. They must have money for giving to the programming, stuff and the profit itself. So there is no chance for 'Money free'.

Are you experience in internet marketing? Well I do in 3 years experience and a web development. If you disgree with my idea, then better research yourself. You will realised one day!
 
Banjo is correct. MSN in own department alone behind the software department. It has loss of earning.

I dont think you get it my answer. Of course MSN do make money from advertisement, banner and others BUT I dont know if they lost some earning as I have not heard from their news.

If you saying that they lost their earnings then I never knew about it. All I'm talking about earning money from the advertisement. That is all what I'm saying.

So clear now?

Are you aware that MSN is owned by MICROSOFT?

If you claim to have 3 years of experience in web development, you should had been aware of MSN being a part of Microsoft a long time ago.

Microsoft CAN afford it. They only use advertisements to reduce the COSTS! Where do you think they get all the money from?

Their softwares, hardwares, and more.

Microsoft fund the programming costs themselves, they don't need the advertisers' money.

That goes for the MSN Internet service too as well.

Just because you are experienced in web development doesn't mean you're right about Microsoft. Do you have any idea how many people use MSN messenger?

Imagine the costs since they have at least 200 million users on MSN Messenger alone.

Plus, they haven't made any profit off Xbox either, but that's what they planned in the first place... to lose money in order to succeed.

Microsoft is a company that isn't too concerned about losing money.

I am fully aware that there are at least 4 divisions that they are losing money on including MSN Internet Service, XBOX and more.

Jono, are you able to provide us the information on quarter figures/revenue for MSN Messenger services?

Please do it in order to prove yourself right.

So far as I am concerned, MSN Messenger hasn't been profitable yet unless they plan to charge people fees.

Why is Microsoft investing so much in a free service if MSN is focused on becoming profitable?

Irving: By investing in MSN Messenger, we continue to cultivate a group of very excited consumers, and we hope to one day turn that relationship into billable opportunities, such as charging for premium services. A good example is the phenomenal success we've seen with the avatar services we launched early this year in Korea. Avatars are small, customizable characters that people can create to develop an online persona while using MSN Messenger. People pay a small fee to personalize them with, say, sunglasses, a boombox, a designer outfit, or hip hairdo. Within a few months of making this service available, more than 1 million avatar transactions occurred within Korea alone. This points to potential revenue opportunities that could broaden in the future. We also see a potential revenue opportunity in the instant game capabilities we're offering with MSN Messenger. As third-party developers build more games, we could offer an online game subscription for people to use over MSN Messenger. These are just a few examples, but we think we've just scratched the surface with what we can do with IM.

This clearly give me the impression that they haven't made a profit off MSN Messenger and you're telling me to do research?

Okay.

Yes, the MSN Messenger service is a loss-making business. Microsoft must had made it clear several times over the years.

Yes, advertisements are only used in order to reduce the costs so they don't have to pay for everything. Still, it's a very expensive service to run.

Yes...That what I'm saying! So deal! I'm actually quite surprised they have not make any profits! Very interesting....!

Thanks for let me know...Cheers!
 
Yeah, MSN is owned by Microsoft. There are millions and millions of users alone, and with those users, they can easily use advertisements and this is why they actually can afford to upgrade and maintain MSN. MSN is for the purpose of advertising Microsoft and other companies.

Yes, I totally agree with you but do they make a huge profit or not? Thanks J
 
Operator System = profit
Software = profit
Internet Service (MSN) = loss
Video game (XBox) = loss
???? any add department ?? = profit or loss ?
-----------------------------
Final Total
Microsoft = profit

This year, they lost over 50 billion dollars, and still make profit!
