Look at the search prefs. IT LOOKS PRETTY DARNED SIMILAR TO GOOGLE (I mean the thing looks exactly the same with different colors).
WAR EAGLE!

Wow, I'm surprised. They're doing a pretty good job.

I've known about this for a while now.

It isn't bad, that's for sure. ;)

I believe that the rumor mill suggests they use similar if not identical algorithims.
(msn vs google)
Compare/contrast for yourselves.

Heh, perhaps a secret Microsoft-owned business bought one and reverse-engineered the Google search machine.  ;)

And they all believed their ancestors were simplistic and deluded. What are the odds that you are the first generation of humans who will understand reality?

Microsoft used Googles current collection of pages to fill theirs.

A search for "linux" yielded fairly accurate results judging from my unscientific glance, but the auto-generated ads were three links to Microsoft websites bashing it or offering interoperability training with Windows. Interesting :)

I think their search engine is going along pretty well, and I use it now and then.  Too bad when you type in a Win32 API function in the search engine it doesn't bring up the MSDN documentation like Google does.  I sent them a suggestion to do that but it doesn't seem like they've implemented it yet.  ;)

Also, MSN's search engine brough up www.valhallalegends.com as its first findings when you typed in "Valhalla Legends" along time ago.

I notice that "big evil corporation" no longer brings up microsoft.com like it did in the beta :(
