Hal, in the MS browser, there's an icon called "search". Click on it and see what happens. In the event you don't use MS browser, I'll just go ahead and tell you what happens: You go to a site on the MS Network which handily lists all the major search engines. Imagine! Microsoft actually pointing consumers to other companies!
It's like, so totally un-Microsoft. They don't normally help anyone, and yet there they are, helping a host of companies. Perhaps these search engines (including Yahoo, AltaVista, Excite, InfoSeek, HotBot, etc., there's more) don't want any help.
You can speculate all day long Hal, about the evils which Microsoft is capable of carrying out. Yes Hal, they could squish you like yesterday's bark beetle. But they won't, because that's not the Microsoft way. Not unless you directly challenge them in head-to-head competition in the open marketplace. Like Netscape did. Then they might. Hooo-haa.
Let's stick to reality, ok Hal? |
