Today Microsoft has launched its brand new, 100% home made . It seems to be of equal quality as Google. Only the URL (search.msn.com) needs a change. Really, it does. |

It has blatantly copied quite a lot from google though. |

it looks like they've used a tableless design. which i'm pretty impressed by. i dunno how i feel about searching for files on my computer via a web interface, though. |

||||||||

I'm not really fond of having the contents of my computer secretly shared with a huge ass organisation that is by all means not averse to using it for marketing and legal (pirated content on your PC?) purposes. |

goddamn what is up with this site |

i'm not sure... but, it's an option on msn. i suppose microsoft is easing everyone into being comfortable with using one unified interface to search for all the information they could possibly want, whether it's info on the web, or files on their own computer. then when longhorn drops in a year and a half, and the internet is completely integrated with your machine, it'll look even more to the casual user that the internet is just an extension of your computer. it's really not that bad of an idea in theory i guess. seems like the potential to be exploited is massive though. |

microsoft is so obviously evil... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

yeah. if longhorn succeeds the internet is fucked. after IE crushed netscape in '98 or whatever microsoft for all intents and purposes completely stopped development of internet explorer. why spend money developing IE? everyone already uses it, there's no real neccessity driving invention. which basically means, since they controlled 98% of the tools that view the web, for the last six or seven years the web has fundamentally hardly matured at all. if they're able to even further integrate the internet with people's machines, and impose their own standards, the internet will continue to grow at the rate that microsoft dictates, which is as slow as it can be while they still maintain their monopoly. VIVE LA FOX!! |

its true, i met a fellow this weekend that works for microsoft and he says that here is NOBODY working in the IE department anymore! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i refuse to use it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
why would you want to use msn search when there is google? i dont get it... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

That is not the issue. MS tries to gain an equal influence in the IT field. Google has a MEGA market share, if you can call it that, in the search engine sector. MS probably thinks there is profit to be made by further analyzing people's internet behaviour, especially also with this desktop search tool. Personally I think that at this point it doesn't have the quality nor the catchiness that Google has to make it as prime search engine in the field. |
