Hey, are you a shill for Google or just an anti-Microsoft troll out to spread anti-Microsoft FUD?
Microsoft Research has more and better PHD's than Google will ever have.
Microsoft has been working on its own search engine technology for quite a long time.
Microsoft doesn't need to piggy bank off Google to build a great search engine.
In today's Wall Street Journal, Walter Mossberg did a great review on the beta of the new Microsoft search engine, and rates it better in at least 3 respects than Google, even if Google is still ahead overall for the moment.
Mossberg thinks Microsoft is set to at least give Google the fight of their lives.
Microsoft is a great American company.
I'd back Microsoft against the left wing, Bush-hating Google any day.

Bill Gates is no Republican, but Microsoft gave no political contributions and had no Washington lobbiests until the government of Bill Clinton sued them.

You're a bit new to be calling established members of this forum trolls.

Politics isn't EVERYTHING, you know. I eat Ben and Jerry's because I like the ice cream. I use Google because it's an awesome search engine.

Walter Mossberg is a failure as a person and a columnist. He has no more technological knowledge than my dad (which isn't considerably bad, but not quite enough to understand the cutting edge).

I'd be very, VERY surprised if Microsoft took down Google. Heck, I'd be very surprised if they gave them anything of a fight. M$ won the OS war because they were first and best to market. No matter what innovation they have in their new search engine (WinFS was pretty impressive, though - then it got pulled from Longhorn - blech), Google's already established in the market.

Google will win, and M$'s search engine will have disappeared in a year and folded within three, and you can quote me on that.

And, oh yes, I'm willing to bet most universities across the country have "more and better Ph.D's" than FreeRepublic, but are you about to blindly say they are more politically apt than us?

Of course not. Argument defeated.

[JoJo Gunn]

You're a moron.

mhking just posted the piece for debate, not because he wrote it.

Are you a shill for Gates, or just an anti-Google troll out to spread anti-Google FUD, sugah?

[proust]

Just Damn.

I'll give you a pass....this time.

You don't know me. But in any event, you need to quit shooting the messenger.

You obviously don't like Google. That's your business. Quite frankly, I don't care.

But the next time you try to call me a troll, you will be in for a lot more than you can handle.

[MineralMan]

Oh, my. You just got here. And you're trashing Google, in favor of MicroHurl. Do read the forum for a while before you post, OK?

Microsoft is not the favorite son of FR.
