MSN Search Roundup

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the stuff-to-read dept.

Thomas Hawk writes "Well after almost 24 hours of public release, The Seattle Post Intelligencer seems to have the best round up on the professional opinions on the new MSN search beta. Bottom line seems to be that nobody is going to be switching over to MSN Search from Google anytime soon. The story includes opinions by Walter Mossberg, John Battelle, The Wall Street Journal and others. "

    I don't understand why everybody thinks it's bad for Microsoft to do stuff like make a search bar on their OS use _shock/horror_ THEIR SEARCH FUNCTION!! NO! Not that!

    I never liked that at all. MS Should have every right and ability to do what they like with their own OS, including disabling other software, defaulting to IE, etc, etc. It's just software. If you don't like it, don't use it, nobody is forced to.

    If they had their way, and my way, all copies of Windows would have to run Microsoft approved stuff, and I believe people would migrate away from it more quickly.

  2. The new "More Evil Than Satan"? by cbowland · · Score: 1, Redundant
    Ok, I'll bite.

    Why is Google the number one result when searching for "more evil than satan" on the MSN Beta?

    Try it yourself.

    Sour grapes, anyone?
