The email address ending with @msn.com has long been replaced with @hotmail.com and at the near future @live.com. At the time of the MSN era, I wasn't really exposed to the Internet and thus failed to obtain my own @msn.com account. My first Microsoft-Email was myname@hotmail.com and I'm still using that one up to now. But lately I found out that one of my friend's email address is hiname@msn.com and I really felt envious. MSN accounts are very rare nowadays and having them is like a badge that says that you are an old timer. And being an old timer in this kind of business (IT) is a plus point. Well that prompted my search on how to create an MSN account.
I thought that it was very easy since MSN is still affiliated with Microsoft. But I later found out that this was very futile. Registering a new user on MSN.com will automatically give you a @hotmail.com email. But on my further search I stumbled upon this website which eventually gave me the ultimate way to create a @msn.com account. Here's a link that will eventually send you to the MSN signup page.

I think this is an old registration page in which Microsoft forgot to delete when they have shifted to hotmail. And since it's still alive, I suggest you guys take full advantage of it.
