MSN Search Toolbar

[DavidLeblond]

One of the websites I visit for fun is Paul Thurrott's windows page. I noticed today he posted a review of MSN's new toolbar search tool. In typical Paul style, he made sure to start out the review by saying Spotlight is another example of Microsoft copying features from Windows. Then he went on to talk about the MSN toolbar which is pretty much a copy of Spotlight. I mean, check out this picture guys... where have you seen it before?

I'm gonna reply to myself here because I just read all of the review and I found a piece I think is funny as hell:

And then consider that competitors such as Apple and Google tried to preempt Microsoft by announcing similar features, and yet were both unable to deliver final versions before Microsoft simply shipped the MSN Toolbar Suite.

Now this is a review of the BETA copy of MSN Toolbar Suite... so didn't Apple release the beta of Tiger BEFORE Microsoft released the BETA of MSN Toolbar Suite?

Haha, what a loser. I don't know when the MSN toolbar thing came out, but apple released Spotlight quite some time ago. Windows fanboy's are the worst.

Reading this guy's blog is great. Whenever Apple releases a security patch he comments on it saying crap like "wow! this goes to show you how insecure Macs are!" He claims to be unbiased now THAT is hilarious.
