Dell controls a huge market of PCs and if Microsoft can get some of them to keep Live as their default then I guess, live's share might actually increase. But the question is whats the point? They should improve their service first and once they are sure that they are ready to compete with the giant....then only they should do all these kind of deals to spread the word about their new improved engine. <em>Saad Kamal's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/saadkamal/~3/479219845/' rel="nofollow">Domain Registration Info - Does it have any Impact on Rankings?</a></em> Good thinking by Microsoft.

IMO it would be huge - most people I speak with have no idea why they use what they do for search and many other online services. It would be an instant increase in market share, they'd just need to make sure people didn't have a reason to look for something else (by bettering their search results).

I don't think this is going to have much effect on Google's search engine popularity as Microsoft's search engine sucks. This seems like a waste of money, but Microsoft could prove me wrong. <em>Patrick's last blog post..<a href='http://www.paystolivegreen.com/2008/12/one-third-of-chinas-famous-yellow-river-polluted/' rel="nofollow">One-Third of China’s Famous Yellow River Polluted</a></em> That would suck if they gave up putting Linux on boxes.

Well, at least this is how they are sold. Correct me if I am wrong... So, I even think, there is no need to be spending the $45 bil. They have something else they can play with.
