I hope miscrosoft can get their hands on yahoo, it could create something able to compete with google and may be of some benefit to us all.
I don't know, they've ballsed up totally with Adcenter, so I don't see how they can do much better really.

I`ve now had a huge 21 impressions, 2 clicks and spent a massive 14p, for 8 days on Adcenter. Compare that to over 200 clicks on Google, both ad's are in the same position on each search engine.

I did used to think fairly highly of Microsoft, despite their faults, but I think they have really dropped the ball the last couple of years in all areas. Vista is nothing really new, and a basic rehash of windows XP which has taken them 7 years to write, and still has massive amounts of problems. MSN search and Adcenter seem to be nothing in the world of web searches, they just seem to be getting everything wrong lately.

I don't know if their money and success have gone to their heads and they are getting complacent now, but in terms of developement they aren't a patch on Google.
