I don't know if this is the old thing, and sorry if it has been discussed before. Just now I have installed again several google programs, such as google earth, picasa, toolbar, etc. because my previous hard disk has crashed. Each of these programs, after the installation is complete, is trying to set google as a default search engine on ie search toolbar. So I guess google is trying really hard to compensate for new ie with MSN search as default. Not that it matters much, I think, since most of the people who install these programs will know how to change default search on ie, if they prefer google. Things are really heating up, and google understands that they will have to try hard to stay on top. This is good
I've noticed that too. I constantly get messages asking if I want this and that set to my default browser
