re: kylie for $4.95
Music point (owned by DES) represents good entry for microsoft. They have already tied up similar deals overseas.
Microsoft has launched a music download service in Europe after the success of a similar service run by rival Apple in the United States. Microsoft's MSN Music Club allows fans in the UK, France and Germany to buy single songs from 75p, or 0.99 euros.
It is being billed as the first pan-European pay-as-you-go online music shop.
Apple's iTunes music store, which offers songs for $0.99 (62p), was an instant hit when it launched in the US in May - but Microsoft has beaten it to the European market.
Through Microsoft, fans can buy more than 200,000 songs from all five major record labels - roughly the same as the iTunes catalogue.
DES represents likely platform for MS, so watch for the announcement this year.
