Microsoft plans on web search

Microsoft plans to unveil its own Internet search technology this year after seeing what MSN director Lisa Gurry termed the "amazing" consumer demand and the moneymaking potential.

Hahaha! I just love it how you guys post random stuff! But anyway! I don't think lot's of people are going to use it, because not that many people trust MicroSoft and frankly I don't really trust them either... I have Linux myself!
