This is kind of funny and slightly off beat. I use Velaro to monitor my visitors and in the last 2 weeks I have noticed that Microsoft.com was in the site. each time a different person. Each of them used google to search for the items they are looking for. I want if Billy knows they are using the competitors search engine. Thought it was kind of funny.

He'll probably start having them all sign a contract saying they can't use Google search. Or maybe he already has!
heh heh.... I bet he uses google when he needs info.

Maybe those Microsoft people were really doing research on Google algos.
I remember an article about this a while back about Yahoo employees using Google to search. Yahoo really sucked back then so I don't blame them.
Maybe this is a similar thing. It would be a hoot if Bill actually mandated that all employees use MSN search engine.

If I worked for M$ I'd ask for financial compensation if that was the case. ;P
