I think Google has a formidable competitor on it's hands...
MSN Search Engine.

MSN is now #1 reffer to WT,
by-passing Google by 70%.

Every page in Winetalk is spidred by MSN, almost on a fly.
This impresses living day lights out of me!

Time to buy MSFT again?
I don't think major broker houses have any idea about the magnitude of this 10,000 pounds gorilla and effect it's gonna play on SE market.

time for me to work on all my sites and see how they produce now

i think that one of microsofts greatest strengths is its organization and its ability to be huge, have the resources of a huge company and use the full spectrum of its resources and ability to act with the swiftness and competence of a small organization. i think that if microsoft decides they want to beat google... they'll beat google.

JR,
I can't recall a single trade war MSFT lost...
where is Netscape? where is AOL?
