MSN in Different Countries

I was playing around with MSN a while back and found it that it is available to people in different countries. So far I've found a Latino MSN and also a Japanese version of MSN on the internet. If you look closely at the people, advertisements and stories that are on the website, you can see that each MSN site is for that particular country or countries, it is not just American news and services translated. I think this is cool because I didn't know that MSN was available to people in different countries. Most often MSN is thought of as an American service website run by an American company (Microsoft), but it's cool to see that this popular company in America provides an MSN page to different countries around the world. Since the world is becoming more globalized, it is a smart move by Microsoft to do this because the resources and communications are in place. For me, if I wanted to explore foreign news websites, I'm going to choose MSN to explore into the most because I'm already familiar with their format, and I think this a benefit to people as well (being familiar with the product).

Here are the sites:
