| 295517 | 2004-11-23 22:49:00 | What I don't see is how Microsoft is getting away with blatantly copying Google's search layout. | somebody (208) | ||
| 295518 | 2004-11-23 22:51:00 | Is it the fact that the person doing the search is from redmond? (home of Microsoft) Thus there doing a search for a competitors product? | Pete O'Neil (250) | ||
| 295519 | 2004-11-23 22:56:00 | I'm quite surprised Microsoft accept competitors to IE as sponsors... | somebody (208) | ||
| 295520 | 2004-11-23 23:01:00 | You git it Pete. It's a Search Near Me though, Oslo should be a little out of it's reach ;) | Murray P (44) | ||
| 295521 | 2004-11-23 23:29:00 | Huh? >> You git it Pete . It's a Search Near Me though, Oslo should be a little out of it's reach opera is also about musical productions, and from what I saw, the hits were to do about that . Sorry to be a pain in the a**e, but couldn't resist . :D Cheers Marg . PS . Tried looking for the Oslo connection . Where is it? |

| 295522 | 2004-11-24 00:04:00 | Marg, it was a Search Near Me, ie, near Seattle, Washington State US of A which, funnily enough, is nowhere near Oslo the home of the net's Opera . So yes, either this employee was searching for a night out at the theater or, can't figure out that everything does not revolve around a certain state in a certain country or, it's a lousy search engine ;) Another possibility is that it is the same person who issued a press releases of the new MSN Search which showed Firefox not IE in a screenshot . Just a beat up, nothing too serious is implied, but with all the rumblings coming out of Redmond recently it's not too hard to figure a little fun is to be had when these things happen :) |

| 295523 | 2004-11-24 01:24:00 | So, somebody in Seattle searches the 'net for 'Opera' nearby and you consider that odd? I would have thought that entertainment was one of the main reasons you'd want to search locally . After all, if the search was for another browser you'd want a more global search simply because it doesn't matter where it comes from . I think M$ have enough faults without inventing new ones that only exist in peoples minds . |

| 295524 | 2004-11-24 01:41:00 | That is just a press release . I have just entered "opera" to the MSN search . The first link is to NZ opera . The second link is to "the fastest browser on earth" . Fair enough . I wondered why the MS Seattle example didn't mention the browser, except in a sponsored link which says that IE is better . :D |

| 295525 | 2004-11-24 01:55:00 | Oh boy! see my post 2 up, don't be such sensitive souls. I'm sure MS can look after themselves. Why so defensive or did you just miss the point. Yeah ok, I shoulda put OT in the topic, slap slap slap I now feel sufficiently chastised :D |
