I'll still use Google. It is my home page in fact. Also this gives Yahoo all the more reason to trash Sony/Nintendo on their site, and praise Microsoft for everything it does.

People bitch about MS. I had to download a program just to change the Safari Search engine to bing

Speaking of which, Firefox users can just go to "Manage Search Engines" and click the "Get more search engines..." link.

I posted this in the other thread that got locked.

Microsoft really dominates online advertising. I work in online advertising and Google only has search...MS is now second in search and first in everything else. Below are the channels you can advertise online...

Display ads - MSN homepage and sections (#1 in daily number of visitors. Remember first thing people see when they open IE is usually MSN.com)
Search - Bing + yahoo (#2 behind google)
Gaming ads - Xbox live (#1...since PSN doesnt do ads yet)
Instant Messenger ads - IM (MSN messenger #1 most used)
Ad content networks for large volume of ads - DrivePM, hotmail (#1)
Video "preroll" ads - MSN Video (MS is #1 - remember youtube doesnt advertise videos)

People make it out like they are taking on this giant empire of Google...but google is holding the last frontier of online advertising and Microsofts total domination.

Disp;ay ads...yes....but Google get the bulk of ad revenue, since display ads aren't dominate.
