    I would say it is more of a challenge to google videos, youtube is an independant site and I dont think something produced by microsoft will be as popular. Plus, they will most likely come down on copyright abusers hard, cant see it doing too well.

    What microsoft needs to do is innovate and invent instead of enter into invented markets.

    Apple ipod = zune

    google = live.com

    Bloggers = myspace.

    And now this.

    BILLY, if you are listening to this.. dude .. do something :p

    Well then shoemoney should look at microsoft and then correct his statement.

    None of the copied ideas by MSN have been successful as the original.

    Invent, Innovate, Injoy (lol)

    No comments on that. My revenues come from google adsense.

    Waiting for Microsoft to release its adcentre. Hope atleast that is better than goog. And if it is, I pity google.

    I like Msn better than goog, mainly because most of the operating systems work on WINdoze.

    Microsoft is acting like old sick man who tries to learn new things but fail.
    They should focus more on LIVE then youtube. :)

    Microsoft usually doesn't buy companies that leak money.

    http://soapbox.msn.com? Can't they ever do something that's not a subdomain? Until they do, it will never catch on. Who the hell is going to remember to type that url?

    They need to bring something new to the table. This is Microsoft people. They've got billions of dollars coming out of their butts.

    Make something new Microsoft. You can afford it. Lead don't follow.
