How Do Google & MSN Compare?

    Hello all,

    First of all, I know nothing about search engines. To me, even finding the submission page is a stretch, so, needless to say, SEO is not my thing. Luckily, most of clients don't request it, so I'm okay.

    I'm curious about one thing, though: I've been a diehard Google user for several years, and, as soon as it was released, downloaded the toolbar. Now, however, I'm using both the Google toolbar and the MSN toolbar side-by-side, just for kicks, and I can see very little differences in results for the (arguably) simple queries I'm punched in to both.

    Frankly, I'm more than a little averse to the notion of using Microsoft as a Web service, but I guess with the .NET Passport it's already happened. However, I honestly can't tell much of a difference between the results.

    Does anyone have a good sense of how MSN stacks up to Google, and vice versa? Opinions and preferences would be good too. Thanks in advance.

    And sorry if this shouldn't be in SEO, but I couldn't find another search-engine-related forum
