MS-Watch | at | by Mike
Redmond readies two versions of its broadband-optimized Internet service; one due late this year and one next. Microsoft plans to kick off the beta test next week its MSN 9 Internet service - now officially christened MSN Premium.
The final version of the service won't be out until "winter," however. Various Windows enthusiast sites have reported that Microsoft has told beta-tester candidates that the beta period is slated to run through January 2004, making a first or second quarter 2004 release date seem likely.
