In the final installment of the Microsoft@50 series, we interview Laura Jennings, who was the Vice President in charge of MSN and one of the senior most female executives at Microsoft in her time. Laura was the Microsoft executive who shifted MSN's strategy as a proprietary online service to becoming one of the top portal's on the internet. I worked for Laura and together we bought Hotmail and got into the search business in partnership with Inktomi. In 1999, Laura Jennings launched a new version of MSN with personalization, integrated web email and search which went on to become a top 3 portal on the Internet.
