WordPerfect competition, Netscape competition, Mac OS competition was all absurd once too...

Microsoft will think up something to draw people from Google to MSN Search. They make crappy products, but boy, can they do illegal business practices.

I used MSN search, and it's utter crap. No way does it even compare to Google when it comes to finding what you want.

"The decision to swap out Inktomi technology was made after MSN rival Yahoo bought the company earlier this year."
That's just great, after paying money to get my clients listed on MSN, the one search engine that seems impossible to get listed on buys it out.
Now what will I have to pay just so my clients will see their site listed in their default search tool? (MSN Search, I mean, who gives a shit about Yahoo.)
