Reports stemming from the US last Friday suggested the online service would change its brand name from CompuServe to CSI, in line with three-letter naming conventions from the Microsoft Network's MSN and America Online's AOL, to coincide with the release of a new user interface. Mail would also be sent to a CSI domain, for example, jbloggs@csi.com, the report said.

However, CompuServe UK PR manager Pauline Blakemore said: "There are no plans to change name in Europe or in the US to the best of my knowledge. CSI is a little logo related to a specific [forthcoming] product but doesn't reflect a change of name."

When all is said, if Microsoft produce the best product people will buy it and thats a good thing. If people have to buy their product because no one else can produce an alternative, only because interoperability protocols are kept secret, then thats a bad thing.
