You said MS is bad, but I have a question: what is your current OS and internet browser ?

Microsoft is too worried about making money for bill gates and not worring enough about how much yahoo and aol are walking all over them. This is probly why msn took so long to upgrade it's email, it was waiting to see how much yahoo would upgrade. and then with it's multi-billion $$ it bought more servers and hosted more storage space.

but i hafta agree that msn has the best instant messaging program, although i'd rather use yahoo (it allows you to talk to pplz that u don't have on ur buddie list) or mirc, it cuts down on spam and is extremely simple to use.

Hi vietpost,

My OS (at the time of writing) is Fedora Core I. However I also have Solaris in my machine and also Win2000.

Win 2000 is needed for synchronizing my PDA with my computer and the damn software doesn't have a Linux version.

My browser is obviously Mozilla.

Bye,
Bigyan

Simply, it is not set out nicely enough. MSN Search does not have as many websites stored in its database. As stated earlier, the main websites do not come first, although it does allow smaller sites to get top of the list. Also, Opaque, could I please see your perl search engine? I'd like to see what it was like.

I don't like anything to do with M$N (I do use AIM and M$N for IM, only because I have a few friends who only use M$N, but I prefer AIM) or Mico$oft. I also don't use M$N search engine because I use Google instead. I love Google. My favorite thing about Google is how simple it's pages are. They don't load a bunch of other images and stuff so they load a lot faster.

I would rather stick with Google. That MSN Search is nothing to special if you ask me. Just a poser trying to be like Google and Yahoo!. I do like MSN Messenger though. That is the only reason I like MSN cause I love MSN Messenger but other than that MSN doesn't really apeal to me to much.

What i don't get is: how do all search engines differ? I know google is supposed to be the best and all that...but if you wanna know sumfin cool: go to www.overture.com and type in somethine...anything. notice the first 3 pages it first lists. now go to www.yahoo.com and type in the same keyword. notice the first 3 pages. go to msn and do the same...look at the first 3 pages...THEY'RE ALL THE SAME!! W00O0O0O!!

What's most sucky about MSN search is that with IE, if they can't find a site, it links to MSN search (with all good intentions, im sure of that dry.gif ) and gives some 'relevant' options for you to choose. This creates stupid situations,

Below is a file I attached, explaining what I mean. (I don't know i any of you guys know Tibia, but it's a MMORPG -> Massive multiplayer online roleplaying game (dunno who thought THATone up wink.gif ))

user posted image



Allow me to translate this beautiful piece of result:

Next to the I: There aren't any results for 'tibia.com'

Then it says (follow the red arrow): Maybe you could try one of these related websites?

It appears (but maybe I'm wrong) that this URL is exactly the same as i typed rolleyes.gif

Yes! they did it again tongue.gif

Google nowadays is the seeker for lack of the net do not mean that I be the best but if his search engine is very powerful do not forget than bill gates I buy it but the internal structure was designed by 2 programmers of use you do not contain publicity and that load minus bits does it faster why
