Microsoft has introduced a beta version of its MSN Toolbar meant to offer simplified access to the company's various Internet portal services, such as Web-based e-mail and search.
The toolbar, which users can download at no cost and can set to appear in their Web-browsing software, offers single-click access to Microsoft's array of sites and applications, including the Hotmail Web-based e-mail, MSN Messenger instant-messaging software and search engine. It also provides access to the company's collection of content sites, such as MSNBC.com, features pop-up ad blocking capabilities, and offers a new tool for highlighting preferred Web content.
