Microsoft Takes on Google...
Kintaro:
People will keep using google, until the next Windows is released with automatic linking stuff to "Micrososft Search" (or whatever they call it).
Basicly the same thing they did to aquire a browser monopoly.
xyle_one:

Visse said the company was making some significant investments in developing a better search engine. But the company has not offered specific plans.

Translation: We haven't found a suitable technology we can steal. ;) WHUDDA CROCK!. Hell, they have yet to get this Dot Net thingie going, and now they're talking even more vaporware. If this thing ever takes off, I'll bet it comes just loaded with spyware, adware, and nagware to the extent it becomes nearly useless. Couple that with Messenger and HotMail, and watch the spam fly! You ain't seen nuttin' yet!
OTOH, I would almost get it just to see what happens if I enter "Linux" in the search window. :D

billy_gates:
Now the average company, in this situation would say I have a better product and use the simple fact that people like good stuff to gain popularity and make the other company go away. I fear however, that MS will just destroy Google and they will rid the world of the best internet seach engine that ever existed.
vw69:
First, they shove us their OS
Then, they shove us their Office suite
Now, they shove us their game console
Not to mention their browser and Mediaplayer (which i believe has fucked up RealNetworks)
If they go as far as fucking Google up, I swear, I swear I'll switch to a mac, but wait, they are shoving their office and browser on macs too! The bastards probably finance the war in iraq too
