My idea on Microsoft plan.
 

Everybody know that they are launching Windows Vista; They have invest alot on easely brandable domain names((Live.com) they have others that i dont remember).

Their new ie7 does not give the information bar at the bottom of the page

With all the Zango type bars and spyware around it give the me the impression that they are going to replace affiliate codes by their own. :Oh crap

Microsoft wouldn't do it because their overall business is built to some extent on trust. They won't play games for pennies to lose dollars.

HOWEVER, more and more will go through their live search engine, and everything in the package is more tightly integrated into an overall microsoft online experience... where your computer ends and the net starts won't be so clear to many people.

The best news? Scumware like Zango and all their buddies are going to have the redesign because so many people will move up just to get away from all the security hassles of XP.

oh what I would give to scoop up domain names 15 years ago...

Nah, It's certainly possible but microsoft would be found out almost instantly and thier stock would go in the shitter. There are a lot of things that public companies can't get away with that private ones can.

Thousands of us are not working for pennies. If MSN security center (or name it your way) take all the leads from us they would do enought to buy google.
