Just after celebrating the service's sweet 16th, Microsoft has announced it will be shutting down MSN TV on September 30th. To help ease the transition, Redmond is offering current subscribers free access to MSN Premium through December 31st. After that, customers will have to pay the standard rate of $10 per month or $90 per year. Naturally, the modern service isn't compatible with MSN TV's defunct hardware -- save it for your
makeshift Linux cluster.
Users will have to switch their email addresses to Outlook accounts and copy any saved content (bookmarks, Scrapbook photos, et cetera) to
SkyDrive before September if they want to access it in the future. Of course, folks that miss the WebTV experience still have
other equally unwieldy
options. The shut-down was inevitable, but we can't help feeling at least a
little nostalgic for the service's 640 x 480 view of the web.
