Being around technology for the past 15 years, I always have a love-hate relationship with Gates and Microsoft. But, I do know this, when Bill Gates sets his cross-hairs on a company or an industry, he seldom fails to take over. Think Apple in the OS Battle, then Netscape and the Browser Wars, next will be Google and the Search Seige. Paying users to search on MSN would amount to a seige I would think.
