My, we certainly are in cheerleader mode today
---Using Judge Jackson's numbers of 95% of all PC's running
Windows and those machines are all running IE, I would say this
is a sure bet for MS---

Because someone is running IE, that means they'd automatically
use the MSN search site, rather than Google? Or are you
implying that MS will change IE so it automatically defaults to
their own search site? Could be grounds for another round of
antitrust lawsuits.

---As others have pointed out, it's good to have more
competition and having it in search engines helps everyone by
upping the bar for all the competition... ---

This is where you lose me. First you say that MS' monopoly on
the browser will force everyone to use their search product, then
you declare that a competitive market is better than one
dominated by one product. Which is it? Is it better to have lots
of search engines competing or would you be happier if MS took
over this market with their anticompetitive practices?
