As a former journalism student, I have to agree with the old adage that large corporations seem to follow, "There's no such thing as bad news." In Microsoft's defense (yes, I'm a Unix admin defending Microsoft :-) this is in a completely different area of business than Operating Systems. Sure, its the same parent company, but its really Microsoft Apples vs. Microsoft Oranges. Search engines just taste different. Just my two cents... I don't think its going to bother them too much. ./brm Issawi, Ahmed wrote: > > I am wondering can MS risk more bad press?
