Internet portals unmoved by launching of MSN Poland

It will be headed by Michal Kostrzewa, who until now was the representative of Skype in Poland. "Microsoft offers a number of innovative internet services. We want to soon offer their local versions," said Bartlomiej Danek, the company's spokesperson. The CEO has indicated that he will supervise the introduction and promotion of internet-based products, such as the MSN search engine, free e-mail, as well as anti-virus software. The newly formed division will also be responsible for the establishment of the Polish version of the MSN portal. For the time being competitors are not afraid of the giant, although they are watching him closely. "I do not think that Microsoft's services will be popular. Internet users are used to the portals, which have been present on the market for years," said the president of Interia.pl, Grzegorz Blazewicz. (Puls Biznesu, p. 8) A.K.
