Comments on: Microsoft updates search site

Company updates a version of its site unveiled in July. A full-fledged search engine release is yet to come.

Microsoft Search Engine

Now that's funny, take over the search market from Google. Ha! Now, granted it's in beta, but it took about 30 seconds for my search query to come back and it said the site was temporarily unavailable. I think they have a log way to go. Besides, the only thing I trust Microsloth to do well is marketing. Go and fix your OS before you play with other toys boys.

Google and MSN

Actually there is no big difference between GOOGLE and MSN search engine.

Why the hatin'?

I feel that too many people HATE Microsoft. Everyone criticizes every move that they make - whether it be the features in Windows to their new beta search technology. I am a computer engineer, and I noticed that most other computer engineers find it cool to use some variant of Linux, and claim to hate all Microsoft products. Give me a break. When it comes down to it, for a consumer operating system - windows is by far the best. Linux is good for some applications - but as a whole, windows is just better. Now as far as the search technology goes... Why is everyone so critical of Microsoft to join this market. One of the problems in the past with software products is that there is one clear cut winner (e.g., Windows) and there was no competition. Now, in the search market, we will have 3 BIG Players. Yahoo, Google, and Microsoft. It is better for the consumer if there are more companies competing for your service. Compeition lowers prices - therefore advertisers will eventually be paying less to have their website posted on Google, or yahoo, or msn or whatever. I just think that Competition is good. Back to OS's. While is said above that Windows is the clear cut winner - I think that Linux has come a long way. They are definitely catching up - and soon will have the same quality of a product as Windows. but at this moment - windows is still easier for everyday consumer applications - DVD's, music, and just plain ease of use.

Incorrect assumptions...

In the search space Linux is the leader. Since Linux
is an evolutionary step from Unix it is built from
the ground up for networking and multitasking
server-based tasks. That is why all the current and
future supercomputers are Linux-based clusters and
why Google and others are large Linux clusters with
massive databases. Windows comes from a single user
environment and retrofitted with Unix like functions
in order to adapt to the Internet. Because of its
design flaws it will never be able to compete in
this space. The single user space is its only
strength, although, it is showing its age.
