yeah but how many will use it....
so despite ranking i rather be listed on a search engine that has spawned its own phrase due its popularity "just google it"
While the majority of the internet uses google, I'm sure MSN search will be used very often too. As well as all the others.
I almost guarantee this is a precursor to Windows Longhorn - they'd rather tie in their own search engine to the OS than someone else's. So, when you perform searches of you're own system their search may return related items from the internet.
That at least is ONE thing M$ can do that Google can't.
I can't see much changing just because they built a new search engine. I also highly doubt Google will be worried about what Micro$oft are doing with MSN Search right now.
when you get an update for IE that makes your default search MSN's you'll see the power they have over google.

The only time I use IE is when testing compatibility with my website designs. Other than that I use Opera and Firefox to surf Yes they do have an advantage with the whole integrated search, but those who know how good Google is won't settle for anything less than the best

i too surf most of my sites with FF, however most of the world stick with IE
Latest stats (can't remember where I read them) show that firefox still only has 1% of the market share
The stats I read show they have 18.6% and Opera 2.3% .... even so, assuming it is only 1% of the market in the short period of time the non-preview release has been out, is quite impressive. You also have to take into consideration peoples laziness and ignorance towards security for example "it's my PC it's secure 'cause I said so".
FireFox will take a larger share I think if IE doesn't step up its game. People will get sick of updating and look for a better solution, not to mention the free advertising FireFox is drumming up But I think i wandered a bit off topic ...
