Microsoft IntelliSense technology is designed to save time and keystrokes. In one of its features, a list of previous matching entries is displayed as a user types a Web address or completes an entry on a Web page. People who have difficulty typing or who use external input devices may find this useful. Another Microsoft IntelliSense technology implemented in MSN Explorer is designed to improve the search process. Users can enter a search query directly into the address bar edit box rather than the search edit box.
Search results appear in the main content area.
Menus in MSN Explorer are drawn in such a way that some accessibility aids cannot read them. MSN Explorer has a setting that converts the MSN Explorer menus, making them readable by a wide variety of accessibility aids. MSN will occasionally download and automatically install updates to address problems and provide enhancements to the MSN Explorer service. Users can choose to be notified when MSN makes changes that may impact the interface so they can view information about those changes. The product integrates Microsoft's Internet software technologies with Microsoft's expertise in Web-based services to offer users the best possible Internet experience and a convenient home base on the Web.
