Review: Microsoft has shown multiple times that it eventually winson everything that is strategic. It may take them a few iterations. Microsoft Office, the browser, XBox (yet to be determined) are examples. If I were a betting man I would choose Microsoft over Google. The Google honeymoon is coming to a fast end.

Review: Another frustrating offering from Microsoft because it only seems to work well with Internet Explorer. That really is the problem with that company. They pretend that everybody uses Microsoft software.

Review: Still Microsoft is failing to impress. One big thing I like about Google is that over the years Google has been coming up with the same interface while background search improves. Not saying it's perfect. However, the fact that most of Google's products are based on its search technology is what keeps users around. And it's always the same google.com search page. We always hear news about "Microsoft's Next Big Thing" with search. The problem is we hear it from Microsoft. Their biggest concern is how to beat Google, not how to come up with a good search service. And it's always about how Microsoft os going to destroy Google in a few months time. But instead we see a new service with a new search interface as a different identity that fails to impress people.

Review: I tested the MSN search right when they launched it and then 3 or 4 months later. It is pretty relevant.
I'm still a default Google search, but if I can't find something on Google, I try on MSN/ And so far, successfully. http://search.msn.com

Review: Unless MSN improves its search relevancy and change its badly done user interface design, things are not going to change any time soon!

Review: Everyone loves to Microsoft bash! At least Microsoft is trying to extend their search. What has Google done lately? Their desktop search is a sham. The shine has worn off Google. In another ten years it will be "remember that company named Google?"

Review: All these frills have no value, compared with the quality of search.
If search relevance amongst the engines (Google, MSN, Yahoo) are all the same, then users could be attracted by offering these frills.
Even if Microsoft/Yahoo offers a bunch of features that I would love, I will not considering switching from Google because of its search results' relevance.

Review: I really don't believe Microsoft is capable of taking Google head on. They are full of crap. The fact of the matter is Microsoft is dead in the water when it comes to search. Give it up, boys. You're wasting your shareholders' money. Soon Google will attack Microsoft on the OS side. Then what, boys? Design a better OS? I don't think so. Google still fails to have complete vision, though. They have the pop understanding of what is hot and what is not. This is why they are successful. What do people always want? Speed, storage, whatever. Juice it up and make it better.

Review: No search war at all. I have found the newest idea of search engine that is better than Google and Microsoft. Visit at : http://cgi.ebay.com/To-Google-CEO-and-Microsoft-CEO-About-Search-Engine_W0QQitemZ7597437340QQcategoryZ2992QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
