“I have MSN Premium service and they gave me a Hotmail email account with an email address @MSN.com. If I discontinue MSN for Internet service, will my existing Hotmail (now Windows-Live-Hotmail) account go away? Will I have to change the @msn.com part?”
If you can keep up with the number of times Microsoft has changed the name of their email offering, you’re doing better than most people. MSN Premium stopped making sense when the Windows Live free products started offering more features than the pay version. With the exception of a dial-up service offering, MSN Premium simply doesn’t have anything to offer that can’t be had for free somewhere else. The good news for you is canceling your account does not mean giving up your email address. If you contact the MSN Premium service to cancel, they will help you convert your Premium account to a free @msn.com account accessible through the standard Windows Live Hotmail login. Save yourself about $10 per month and cancel your account without worrying about needing to change your email address.

Jan 29, 2004 MSN 9.0 is a slightly upgraded version of its $22-a-month dial-up service; MSN Plus and MSN Premium are content add-ons designed to complement any broadband connection. Keep your current Internet service provider and subscribe to MSN Premium Internet Software which includes: a junk e-mail filter, e-mail and desktop anti-virus protection, firewall protection, pop-up manager, productivity software, parental controls, and multiple e-mail accounts. Pay only £59.99 (inc VAT) per year until subscription is. I also have MSN Premium and I got an update about 2 weeks ago. It is updating from version 9.5 to version 10.0 They removed the calendar from the dashboard but added some extra things to the toolbar. I have been using it with no problems.
