It took about ten times the amount of time that Google did (not an exaggeration) for the same arbitrary search that I did, and brought up about 5,800 less results than Google.

GO MICROSOFT!!

Heh, you know that "MSN Search" that automatically pops up when you type a word into the address bar of IE by default? I usually switch it off but at one computer at work I typed "apple" without realising that it'd send me to the MSN Search thingy... which it did... and for "apple" the top result and MSN Recommended! result was... www.amazon.com. www.apple.com was the 5th result.

MS -1. Bleh.

The only way MS can kill Google is by adding a "security patch" that disallows you to visit Google.

Google will always be the best.

LOL! It's funny 'cuz it's true.

Its slow and the results don't come back with anywhere near as many 'good' results as google does. It will be 'integrated' into Longhorn though, so it will be used no matter how much it sucks and that use will be used to funnel "Google Ad" style revenue to Microsoft.

Final version launched.

 

[Joe]

its pretty nice, but it does nothing to make we want to stop using google. google seems just a tad faster and has images.

 

[DaveH]

Kinda... weak. Eh. I guess I'll put it in my Firefox search engines bar as an alternative. The lack of spellcheck is annoying.

 

[8bit]

Thanks MSN! I really wanted to read my slashdot posts from 5 years ago!

 

[Joe]

there's a spellcheck but it's not that good yet. i searched for "monumnt" and didnt get a link for "monument" but i searched for "yankes" and there was a link for "yankees".

 

[Ryu]

... No image search? Why bother?

From the Splash page you can already tell that Google > MSN Search.

Google's splash page is like... a stroke of HCI genius.
