Can Microsoft Beat Google?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the they-beat-netscape-apple-and-ibm dept.

An anonymous reader writes "With all the hype surrounding the recent release of MSN Search, are the search engine wars heating up? There's an interesting article that states, "As the veteran Microsoft enters the already flooded search engine industry, and Google still being fresh and refreshing to most people, it begs the question: can the old supplant the new?""

    Would the mods of the above post please refrain from using your mod points in the future. Pointing out the obvious sarcasm in the great grandparent post is NOT off-topic.

    I just dont think this is the place for internet search engine companys. It's extreamly easy to make a tiny 100k program that can search an NTFS drives MFT at a speed thats almost un noticable to any human and this is the method I use to search my system. Though this does not help people still using FAT or Linux and MAC formated drives :)
