To be fair to Microsoft, it's the Internet Mail that at present won't work
with MSN as they have not got POP3/SMTP connection servers yet, (expected
early 1997) Internet News does work quite happily with a default server of
"msnews.microsoft.com", they have advertised all this on MSN quite openly,
peculiar but true, and the exchange messaging works very well.

To connect to MSN newsgroups using MS Internet News,
the news server I use is "msnnews.microsoft.com".
Note the double n.
I only mention this, because I spent several frustrating hours trying to
connect
with "msnews.microsoft.com" , which didn't work.
