Looks like MS is gonna try and make this interesting. Who do you think will win in the end?

Honestly, I don't think even MS can really compete with google on this one. But then again enough money and you can pretty much do anything.

I would say Google however I used to use Yahoo all the time. Will just have to wait and see.

I agree with malice, Microsoft has a crap ton of money, and they will probably pull an HP and try buying their way in, but it won't be enough and they will just end up getting laughed at. Just like HP. Stupid HP. Every day i'm happier and happier i don't work there anymore :mrgreen:

So nobody is buying into the MS hype-machine huh? I agree though, its gonna be real hard to beat Google. But if anybody has enough money to give them a run for their money, its MS. Should be fun to watch.

Well you know, contrary to popular belief, MS has some of the most brilliant minds in software development today. Maybe they've got something up their sleeve, but we can't really jump to conclusions just yet I suppose until we see something from them. I know, it's strange to hear me say not to jump to conclusions, especially since I patented the "Jump to Conclusions Mat". You know, it's a mat....and it has conclusions........which you can jump to!

I thought that Yahoo was running the google engine. I thought they licensed it or something.
