How Microsoft Could Kill Google on the Web

Sorry. Can't see how this half baked idea comes close to working.

Free means msft becomes a new socialist regime: Who will run the ad acceptance dept? The free mkt (Google) is perfectly matched to the job of choosing the ads that run.

Google has patented a great ad auction system. They have millions of servers to speed search queries to the universe. And, FWIW, Google appears to be an ingenious engineering company w/ attention to public opinion. People don't have a problem bringing their business to Google ("Don't be evil." works!).

Msft is a convicted monopolist with a long folk history of thuggery and malodorous conduct. There are many in the population who have a problem with helping msft succeed (C'est moi, for instance.).

So, if msft is going to compete here, I say they just need to get back to their labs and build a better mouse trap (and that, my friend, is something they haven't done in many years (See the msft 5 year charts.)).
