Hahaaa, MSN tries to be Google?

A poor attempt to imitate Google:
http://beta.search.msn.com/

Comments? It was the first and last time I used that Google copycat...

The style is a blatant ripoff, and I have no reason to switch to it if I'm satisfied with Google (as would the tens of millions of other users).

Hey, where are the GOOD attempts to imitate Google? They need the competition anyway to keep them on their toes. Anyway, my site came up on page 4 of this engine (under BONSAI) , so I am all for it! I read in that in response to the MSN press release Google immediately increased the number of indexed pages several times over, so it's already working!

Regards,

Matt

I dont use a search engine based on looks, if it works, I'd use it.
