msaeger carpal tunnel Registered: 23/09/2000 Posts: 3608 Loc: Minnetonka, MN	Did anyone else notice that Microsoft launched their Google clone Link. It looks like they made a duplicate of google right down to the tool bar that lists pop-up blocking for a feature. They even have a desktop search tool bar. So are they saying the search feature in XP is lacking and I need additional search capability. _________________________ Matt

I had no idea they borrowed from Google, but Microsoft has a habit of integrating the best software out there into their own suite.. _________________________ Brad B.
