MCI and Microsoft will now be building networks together, MCI ditching
Netscape and starting to sell Microsoft network access tools & pushing
MSN... 

>From the local rag news paper:

"MCI, Microsoft to jointly market on-line services

 WASHINGTON -- MCI Communications Corp., switching its Internet Strategy, 
said it will team up with Microsoft Corp. to jointly market and develop 
services for the burgeoning on-line industry"

The story later goes on to say:

"MCI will promote Microsoft Network, the No. 4 U.S. on-line service, and
sell Microsoft's Internet software through its SHL Systemhouse unit" 

Interesting, No?
