    From my experience I would have to say no. I did a search for some anchor text in brackets " " and found links to my site that did not show up with the links command.

    MSN were showing new links in less than 24 hours for a while but now I havn't seen new ones for the last 1-2 weeks.

    Nope.

    If i enter a link: for specific page on my site it most of the time shows alot of links which were not shown by link:domain.

    Lately MSN has been really strange.

    I'm seeing more then i am in google. But i'm not seeing a lot of duplicates. For example, There may be one link from DP, but not all of them.

    also, i believe doing a link:domain will only show you pages pointed at the index page.

    MSN is not showing all backlinks for my site. It show 97 for my site but at yahoo is shows 180. I think MSN might be showing a sample like google does.

    MSN's link command isn't as meaningless as Google's, but is not yet as good as Yahoo's.

    We have to remember that MSN doesn't have as many pages in its index. I did a random search and found:
    MSN: 1.3 million pages
    Yahoo: 11.2 million pages
    Google: 8.5 million pages
