No bets taken on that one as MS has already stated they're going to integrate it into windows.

mum;" how do i search for things ?"

.. okay so even my mum knows about google,,, but it is kinda the same , m$ want to give the user a good experience , if the search engine is part of that , why shouldnt they stick it in the os :-/.

w.r.t. stereos,, well no , most cars have nonstandard fasica nowadays to discourage theft.. so you need a non-standard to standard fascia converter , the new stereo and a non-standard to standard plug converter.. . . . . it's a p-i-t-a , some scrote swiped my cd-autochanger ( ford standard) , and getting a 'stock' one to just "plug in" is proving annoying

.The thing is, as soon as they stick it in there as standard all the clueless joe schmoes will forget there's any other choice, thus squeezing out all other players into the fringe like happened with Netscape once MS got serious in the browser war.
MS is not a 800lbs gorilla, they're more like 80.000 pound kingkong, and couple that with idiot lusers who'll just click the icon closest to the mouse -an icon which MS put there since it's their OS - means Google can just kiss their position as leading search engine goodbye after a year, year and a half or so.
Why you think MS's search engine looks so similar and minimalistic in style to Google? To make them more confuseable of course.
It's a very ugly tactics and a definitive sign they're in an unhealthy monopoly-type situation.
