Did anyone else notice that Microsoft launched their Google clone Link. It looks like they made a duplicate of google right down to the tool bar that lists pop-up blocking for a feature. They even have a desktop search tool bar. So are they saying the search feature in XP is lacking and I need additional search capability.

I heard about this on the radio.. sounds like they were sick of paying Yahoo for the search engine technology at MSN.com (or so the story said). I had no idea they borrowed from Google, but Microsoft has a habit of integrating the best software out there into their own suite..

I think the word you are looking for is innovating
