Yahoo, Verizon ink Web tie-in | CNET News.com: "The deal represents a competitive win for Yahoo because it replaces Microsoft's MSN as the default Web portal for new Verizon customers. MSN and Verizon struck their original agreement in June 2002, but the combined service was slow to get off the ground." Yes, because it was a piece of CRAP! When I found out that I HAD to install Verizon/MSN software on a PC just to set up my DSL account I used a PC that I was about to re-format anyway. ID and password set up, I programmed them into my router and accessed DSL from a pristeen Linux machine. It was fun to read in the support newsgroups about all the trouble Windows users where having though. Pity them.
