Let Mr. Gates dream on. Google is not going away and his search technology is
ridiculed by all. Only the media is going willy-nilly after his
announcements, which I can see everywhere. More latterly it was corporate
search solutions, which has been available through Google for quite a while.
IBM even collaborated with them on the project.

Less talk, more development. Ballmer and others have been chanting MSN search
for the past 2-3 years only to be mocked time and time again. Alas, all the
good developers have left Microsoft or lost their motivation to innovate.
They also work on a poor desktop environment that discourages work. That's
just why companies such as Google will continue to reign.
Best wishes,
Roy
