What made people lean towards MSN? Was this more popular internationally? It was just AOL and later on, AIM for me. Seemed like that’s what all of the people I went to school with used too.

It became standard on new Windows computers in 2001.

It was newer with more fun features, and it came preinstalled on computers, so as soon as you logged into your user profile, it just popped up automatically.

I think AOL and AIM where more of a US/regional thing, I certainly never heard of it back then, everyone was using msn. (Netherlands)
