Microsoft Russia plans to open a news portal

Microsoft Russia plans to create its own information portal. About it reports the network edition "Vzglyad" with reference to an anonymous source in the Microsoft company. Work on the project leads the marketing division of MSN. Information is confirmed by the official representatives of the company.

The project does not plan to create its own edition: the portal plans to buy content from other information resources.

Analysts believe that a successful start of the new project will require at least $ 1.5 million per year.
