Under the direction of Chou, 41, Warner Music Taiwan's market share has quadrupled, to 16%, in four years.

MSN subscribers also get free versions of Microsoft's encyclopedia and bill-paying and photo-editing software...
...were a new online subscriber, I would choose MSN over AOL. Its interface is just as easy for newbies to learn and use, and you can always keep in touch with AOL buddies through the free AOL Instant Messenger program.
