How does MSN treat 301's?

I had a subdomain (2 actually) that was #1 for it's keyphrase that dropped from 1 to 230 overnight. On the premise that it was the virtue of being a subdomain, and that perhaps MSN strated treating them differantly, I bought a new domin, moved the old site there, and 301'd the subdomain.

It took about 6 weeks to initially get into MSN's serps. My question is, and hoping someone has some actual experience with this, is will MSN treat the new domain as just that, totally new, or will it take the 301 and treat it as the same site only with a differant address, ie get into the serps right away?

MSN treats 301 redirects as backlinks nothing like Google or Yahoo.

So are you saying that the new site will be treated as just that, a new site? Not an old site that was moved?
