MSN is about to launch their highly anticipated search engine that has been in works for over a year. It is anticipated that Micorodoft will be highly competetive and will try to over take Google and Yahoo. With their integrated search capabilities in Windows, chances are that they will succeed.

Do you think the new MSN Search over take Google and Yahoo within 2 years?

Please respond to the poll and leave your comments.

Hell no.
MSN can't catch up to this beast. They can try, but they can't just give away search for free since... it is free. And all those "paid to surf" programs died eyars ago... hummmmm actually... come to think of it. If people pay an average of 30 cents a click nowadays, and MSN figured out a way to give that part back as a rebate to the surfer, hell we'd be having people getting paid 10 cents per search...

I change my answer... if they pay their people, then yes.

Without knowing how much time and effort MS is going to put into this, I'd say anyone's guess is a good one.

I will say this though, in every market that Microsoft has gone after with any kind of aggression, they have eaten their competitors. They have too much money and too many resources to compete with. I find it no coincidence that Google decided it should have an IPO right around the time that MS announced their plan to play in Google's sandbox. They're going to need that money for R & D among other things if MS decides to go after them.

Yahoo seems the most vulnerable to MSN considering that Google has more of the market and their IPO was so strong. Google might be artificially high right now, but it's killing Yahoo there too. It will take some time for dust to settle, but the way it looks right now I'd say that if anyone it going to get eaten by MS, it's going to be Yahoo.

I understand they use multi-search method. the one conk.com is using. if the search would be better and available on browsers, Microsoft will beat yahoo
on search.
But Microsoft never beat Google that creating its own browser, and will improve search methods. they simply live happily side by side.

In 2 years MSN might be able to take over Yahoo but I doubt it will ever do the same with Google.

MSN must improve their search engine. Sometimes I waste my time to wait the result.

OK, MSN will improve their search engine but Google and Yahoo will do it too. So I thinks MSN need miracle to over take Google and Yahoo Smile

I like google because the fast. I like Yahoo because the more clean than Google.

Although I get a considerable visits from MSN to mysite than Google. However, I feel that Google has become the brand name worldwide when it comes to quality searching.

I think a year from now, they'll all be somewhat equal. Google will always be a strong player, but Google has it's problems. Click fraud and spamming are 2 of Googles big problems. Yahoo is relentless. They hit my sites 3 or 4 times a day. Whenever I put up a new site, Yahoo is always the first to spider it, and with all my sites, Yahoo sends me the most traffic. MSN is the wild card here. Bill Gates has stated that he has made it a priority to take on Google. Many people have lost fortunes betting against the richest man in the world. What Bill wants, Bill gets.

If you've got a site, you'd do yourself a favor by paying attention to all three of them.

Ya I agree masjidi Google is still the king and I dont see any search engine that will be giving a very hard competition to Google in the future.
