<<<<<....today's barrons had a roundtable on technology. it was stated by a respected mutual fund manager that it would be easy for a msft or AOL etc. to have their own search engine. Well, it is easy to have a search engine, but it is not easy to have one that can compete with XCIT, SEEK etc. AOL had one, which is called WebCrawler, they could not survive, so it was sold to XCIT. <<<<< ....what would happen to all of them if msft entered the search engine business big time? they are in the process of catching up to netscape fast and msft network is turning around. msft could shake up the engine business. If search engine is a market that MSFT has to compete in order to survive, it would be very dangerous for the other guys. NSCP was competing with Windows in the eyes of MSFT. Search engines are media companies, they do not compete in the operating system area, not even in the software sector.
