Deep Thoughts on MSN

MSN Live Search (The title is somewhat tongue-in-cheek…)

Ever since Microsoft started talking years ago about having its own search engine, people have been talking about how an MSFT search engine would hurt Google and Yahoo because of all those “default” users that are MSN customers and/or Internet Explorer users.

It’s been 2+ years since MSN launched its own search engine, and we all know where they are in the race: 3rd place, around 8-10% share.

Which makes me wonder…

How many people actually actively choose MSN search? How low would MSN’s search share be without all those default MSN/IE7 users?

Scary to think about if you work in Redmond, I say.
