| Microsoft really, really wants Google. It wants Google for one reason, namely, to strip it naked and to castrate it. Microsoft wants to put an end to people being able to use the power of Google, especially as to the way that we all can use Google as a tool which makes the Internet particularly useful in helping us all to get through our days without depending on Microsoft.
Here's an exercise for all to try. Search Google for "Linux Windows" That gets you about 14 million pages, even with the English preference or filter turned on. Now, got to msn.com and search the Microsoft way for the same two words. You get exactly 18 pages. The word censorship doesn't seem to do justice to what Microsoft has done to a msn user who wants to compare Linux with Windows, does it?
Here's another exercise. Search msn for "Linux". Note that the third item returned is tech.msn.com and that the page no longer exists. The fourth item deals with this topic "Alternatives to Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP Learn about the Microsoft alternatives and how to move to them from open source products."
What do you all think ..
Do you still want tostick to Microsoft ...

| I went to a M$ presentation last night. The representative made a comment about searching Microsoft's site for information or trying (while covering his mouth) google. I thought that was pretty funny. Hey I wouldn't let my search engine give up information on my biggest threat either.  | |

| you talk like it is a bad thing?
so you disregard google's paid search?
how do one pass judgement on one commercial entities' legitimacy while denouncing MS attempt to stay relevant in the same playing field?
google stifle competition!!! it unfairly leverage it's popularity and strength in its search field to seek entry into other arena's, such as corporate portal and others ... look at its services and tools sections, how many small companies has it muscled out of the industry already?
so MS wants to buy google, what's wrong with that? it opens doors for opensource search engine where the search result is truly relevant and commercial free!!!!
or are you against open competition and wants google to continue to make money through advertising, paid search etc so it can monopolize our access to information? | |

Google is the most unbiased search engine as of this moment in the net...
Dont argue with something you really don't know.. As far as paid search is concerned that is a total different thing which not falls at this contex..
You really want the best search ..which is not influenced by any vendor or third party and want the exact result for which you utilise your time .. you have to Google.. simple ..strait.. and no mess with it... | |
