Just wondering people's opinions on this.

With Windows Vista upcoming and IE7, and the beginning of a large advertising campaign for MSN search, do you think it will pass google?

MSN has been providing some very impressive search results lately, and has started rising already (just look at your website stats).

Do you think it will pass google as the most used search engine? I think it will.

Probably not...unless they were to ever partner with or buy someone like Yahoo. Though they are not to be ignored as a source of traffic. As there are a lot of Newbies out there that don't know how to change a homepage from MSN and use the search feature there.

No, so many people's default homepage is google.com, their not gonna suddenly change just because of Vista and IE7, and anyway... I heard that microsoft wasn't allowed to put their browser already installed on the next version of windows because the other browsers argued that it wasn't giving them a chance.
