Microsoft blew it a few years ago. They owned the browser market and could have made that default page you dropped to a real search page looking for what page did not show up. We would all have evovled using their search. I still think they could do it. With the google toolbar I can set Google as the default if what I am looking for is not found. But new users etc will still use the regular browser. They could rule if they pushed that advantage.

Example type in qwertyyy.com in your adress bar.

MSN.com could make it so they come up with a page not found but these sites have qwertyyy.com in them.

Also I used IE for years and never noticed that little magnifying glass for "search". Put a damn type in box that says "search here". That runs to your own site. Bolt on a toolbar.

I think MSN could own Google if they capture the eyeballs they already have.
