MSN launched an instant messaging service in 1999 to compete with AOL Instant Messenger, which was originally known as ‘MSN Messenger Service’ and was later shortened to simply ‘MSN Messenger’. MSN (originally The Microsoft Network stylized as msn) is a collection of Internet websites and services provided by Microsoft for online service and Internet service provider on August 24, 1995, to coincide with the release of the Windows 95 operating system.
The Windows 8 system, another service provided by Microsoft, is also struggling in the Chinese market. The number has dropped sharply due to the rapid development of mobile communication technology and challenges from domestic rivals such as QQ, WeChat and Sina Weibo. MSN once attracted over 20 million users in China.
A recent wide spred report that Windows Live Messenger (nearly 0.1 Billion users)would be closed on octo, forcing all users to switch to using Skype (Windows Live Messenger will be replaced everywhere else by Skype, which Microsoft acquired in October 2011)to continue on their instant messaging.
