    Check Search results for the word "KinderStart" in
    google, MSN & Yahoo.

    On both MSN & Yahoo, it's the first hit. One Google it's nowhere on Page1.

    Pure Evil.

    The search engine at Micro$oft (M$) currently has indexed about 1 billion web pages

    Really? A search for 'microsoft sucks' listed www.microsoft.com right on the first page!

    I prefer this link .... http://beta.search.msn.co.in/results.aspx?q=micros oft+sucks&FORM=QBRE

    Of special interest was the number of results -- 1,809,945.

    Maybe they aren't biased afterall....

  4. Impact? by mind21_98 · · Score: 5, Informative · on New IM Worm On The Loose

    Fourty-two million users worldwide verses far more for AIM. The impact shouldn't be too big, although one has to wonder why people blindly accept and run files in the first place. It boggles the mind.

  6. Never attribute to malice... by danila · · Score: 4, Insightful · on How Objective Is Microsoft's Search?

    Never attribute to malice what you can explain by stupidity.

    Indian search on Windows. Only 10th result is good. First one is Windows Media Player, 2-6 are about Tablet PC with the same page for WinXP for Tablets appearing twice. There are also such wonders of relevance as Windows into the Soul of Satyajit Ray and Windows to the Universe - Jupiter.

    Search for Windows at MSN is only marginally better. The poster of the story overlooked that first 4-6 results are "Featured sites", which (as well as "sponsored") is the marketese for "advertisements". Amazon will happily sell to MSN searchers practically everything. Heck, the second result for shit offers that I "Purchase Expensive Shit" on Amazon. I shit you not.

    There are other gems at the MSN, like a "featured" result, suggesting that "MSN 8 offers a better browsing experience: Try it free for 60 days." when you search for netscape or gnu.org results starting after 12th position when you search for gnu. The first result, of course, being the famous E-gnu.com African Safari Travel...

    MSN (despite their claims to the contrary) is a mix between marketing crap and inferior technology. Thanks, I will pass.

    Try filling in SCO at the Indian MSN search , the first _5_ lead to sco.com. A coincidence? I think not
