Re: microsoft says new search engine will be better than googles...

To be completely honest I find Yahoo's search more functional. Part of the problem is that when you have the best search engine everyone wants their site to be at the top of the search results. There are companies called SEO's (Search Engine Optimizers) which do nothing but try to get your site to be at the top of a particular search engine. Because Google is the most known one they fall prey to this where lesser known engines like Yahoo, who don't have algorithims as good as Googles, turn up better results. With that said, I still doubt MSN's search will be better. Currently is seems to be one of the worst.

Cool, you're gonna join me? If two more MS members join in, we can play a hand of poker while we're finding that cure for AIDS.

As long as MS is handing over search results to the Feds... I could care less.

Cause they have a shoddy product and they are trying to patent the planet and everything on it without any sort of gameplan that has a backbone to it

You hear more about them because they have 100x more vulnerabilities, not only because more people use MS.

As someone whos job revolves around virus detection, I can tell you that Mac viruses are far and few between.
