[ILUG] MSN Search Beta

[ILUG] MSN Search Beta

The MS alternative to google - but look at the URLs that are
generated - MS track every search you make !

First result for "ms office warez" -> http://www.microsoft.com

I'm still laughing...

Some of the linux related searches that I've tried return very few
hits ( where I'd expect loads more )

Searching for "winxp home .iso" returned "Adobe Systems", and a link to
MSDN Subscriptions ( on the first page of links )

I wonder how "real" the results will be... How long before the "typical"
end user tries to claim that they believed that the warez was legit because
the MS search engine found it :-)
