MSN on a Mac?

Is it possible to get MSN internet access on a Mac? I have a friend whose parents are getting an iMac. Now they have a Gateway with MSN but are dumping the Gateway. Can they still use MSN on their Mac or will tehy need to use Earthlink? How would they setup MSN on the Mac if it's possible. Thanks.

Talking yes!

Yes, Microsoft delivers MSN for Mac OS X with Office v. X.

seems like a good time to gently urge them to throw something else out as well encourage them not to potentially f*ck up an otherwise enjoyable experience of owning a mac with a provider that is not a believer. Earthlink just updated their osx software in the last couple of days and reviews for it are great. they can get dsl and start ripping the internet up.

biggest reason people don't want to change isp's - email address. but in fact we all have the addreses of those who really matter to us and letting them know of the change is not that hard. and it's a really good way to get away from all those junk mails you didn't realize you were signing up for and can't get stopped. life will be simpler after the change, not worse.

i still cringe every time i think of steve jobs praising m$ for building a "better" app for mac during the mwsf keynote

Yeah, I've had a strange flood of spam emails in the last week. Maybe a change once in a while is a good thing.
