Where is that posted? I'd be interested in reading about it.

Do you think that MSN will prevail over google..

Its a good attempt... Nothing has come close in a while.

I'll stick to Google

I'll stick with G too, but hopefully some searchers will use msn, and I can get some more users

It's google all the way for me, unless MSN comes out with some amazing new feature. Then google will probably implement the same feature and it will be back to google.

I think we're in for a treat. There's nothing like competition in the free market!

chachi · #9 Nov 9th 2004, 8:33 pm

well, I just hope it is the "preview" we were all playing with a few weeks ago.

ROV · #10 Nov 9th 2004, 8:39 pm

Well, we'll see if #1 in MSN brings in more visitors than #624 in Google.

this will become interesting and serious once it has been out, hammered and refined.

Since XP MS has most users on autoupdate. So a clever worded / done update could install search MS as default / preffered .... even given multiple choice, we all know what the average user will do....

I for one hope that this new search engine by MSN will get a lot of good press and be exposed to the public. It seems as if the NY Times has already given it some good press. Now google will have to try and top it in some way with a press release of its own. Can we say bye bye google and their cash cow adwords.

It is not the preview, only a facelift to their current backend (http://www.search.msn.com/). They stated the preview will launch "later this year".

Hooray for more spyware

Definatly see this as a possiblity - using the XP auto-update to make MSN the default SE. Just wonder when they will start doing it.
