Microsoft Corp. is pushing ahead with a campaign to try to get Internet users to switch to the software titan's MSN service from industry leader AOL, offering $50 cash to new subscribers. The latest deal offers new subscribers a $50 refund if they pay for at least three months of MSN dial-up or high-speed Web access, Microsoft said. Microsoft's last MSN push came last October, when it updated the MSN software and revamped its family of Web sites in a bid to lure people away from AOL.
