conq wrote to mention a BusinessWeek article that covers some of Microsoft's upcoming web plans. From the article: "Live.com, Microsoft's customizable search-oriented portal, has more than 3 million users and the second-highest Net Promoter score -- a metric showing how many users would recommend the site to others -- of all MSN.com properties, writes Cole. That's good news, since the Live.com portal is the entry point for the first release of its Windows Live Search, the site through which Microsoft hopes to make the big bucks through paid search. Microsoft on Mar. 8 unveiled a slew of features aimed at letting users personalize the way they search the Web."

Here is the secret to Microsoft's domination:

1.Take a pile of dog crap.
2.Gold plate it.
3. Add more dog crap.
4. Gold plate that.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have a huge imposing structure.

This results in glittering mass which impresses the avearage person, but underneath it all - it just stinks.

They are obviously following this formula in their challenge to Google.
