I am literally wet behing the ears when it comes to these pocketPC phones. I just got it today, and am still on some weird 'high'.

The Pocket MSN icon really bugged me, much like a smudge on sunglasses or a windshield. What irked me even more, was the fact that I could not remove it. So I decided to dive into the PPC myself and see what the deal was.

open Registry,

navigate to:

HKEY_Local_Machine\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\Today\Items\Pocket MSN

select DWORD:

Enabled: 0

After a soft reset, it was finally gone.

or you could have just gone to settings/today/items and uncheck pocket msn and it wouldn't show on the today screen.
