Looking for a compelling reason to switch
---Here's a novel concept, give MSN search a try. If you like it, use it---

I'm not an OSS'er, and I did play around a little with MSN's new search site. It was fine, gave good results, but nothing there is compelling enough for me to switch from Google. Google gives me the advantages of being able to do image searches, froogle searches, etc. I've also got a google toolbar search function built into Firefox, which saves me a step in the process.

When MSN does something unique that makes it worth my while, I'll give it a shot. Until then, why bother?
