MSN has resorted to some pretty low tactics to win the search war vs. Google it would seem...

It's worse than that. They are trying to get companies to join in a program where, for convincing employees to use Windows Live Search (a Microsoft product) and Windows Internet Explorer 7 (a Microsoft product), they receive bonus money – in terms of rebates for: you guessed it: Microsoft products.

Are you kidding? They've started paying companies to advertise. Yeah. Paying folks to place ads, instead of getting paid for it. If they didn't have their Office/Windows warchest, face it, this company couldn't compete with anyone.

I believe that. I really do.

Refugee children are the only thing I hate more than fair trade. Suddenly I'm perceptive rather than a cunt.

Kickaha · 2007-03-17, 17:15

Ah, but what about fair trade in refugee children, hmmmm?

I hear Madonna is an expert in this field.

I might have used Live search, if it didn't suck so bad. At searching.

Guys, I take pride in saying, after years and years of effort, this is the best they can do. PATHETIC. Apple is going to start kicking ever more ass over the next few years, and Google too.
