MSN as dialup ISP?
Yup. Started as an AOL competitor bundled into Windows 95.

Started in 1995. Rebranded away in 2005, nine years ago.
Not really "every few years."

Following the launch of Windows Live, [in 2005] the MSN brand took on a different focus. MSN is now primarily an online content provider of news, entertainment, and common interest topics through its Internet portal, MSN.com,[29] while Windows Live now provides most of Microsoft's online software and services.
