No thanks
Before you pigeon hole me as a MS hater I should point out that I really like Windows XP. Windows XP is my favorite desktop of all time. (Sorry Mac OS X fanboys, I've built my own PCs too long to cough up $2000+ for a nice Macintosh)

On the corporate side, MS SQL Server is quite nice as is ActiveDirectory for managing large corporate networks.

(Aside: I like LINUX, Apache et al on the back end for strategic purposes as well, a.k.a., $aving money)

Nevertheless I don't need to feed MS' ego anymore than I've already done with my wallet. On principle alone, competition is good and given the nature of search, i.e., a web application, there is simply no reason for me to patronize Windows Live Search given how stellar of a job Google does.

If anything you should go check out Ask.com's new interface, I like it.
