Microsoft plans to launch MSN 8, the next version of its online service, on Oct. 24, CNET News.com learned on Monday.
The Redmond, Wash.-based software giant plans to make the announcement on Tuesday, along with additional details about MSN 8. On Monday, Microsoft signed off on the gold, or final code, to MSN 8.
MSN 8 marks a dramatic turnabout for Microsoft as the company reels in its cumbersome consumer Web strategy. Under an initiative announced last year known as HailStorm, Microsoft planned to offer a la carte services to consumers through MSN.com. In a retrenchment, Microsoft will offer its consumer Web services to paying customers through MSN 8.
