Google or Windows Live!

What do you prefer? Personally, I like Google - I've always used it, it's simple and I usually get good results.

What about u? :whistle:

Google all the way, everything else is just a toy. Windows Live basically searches in MSN. I used google a few days ago for my astronomy assignment since I couldn't find my calculator. This is the whole statement which google calculated perfectly: (2 * (6.67 * 10^-11) * (6.0 * 10^24) * (6400000) * (1.98892 * 10^30)) / (1.49668992 * 10^11)^3. The answer google gave me is 3.03884723 ? 10^18. I tried the same in Windows Live and it gave me some error and a bunch of useless bull that has Microsoft written all over them. Nothing is better than Google!

Google as a search engine (duh), but I haven't made a decision between live.com and google.com/ig 's interfaces.

I like the simplicity of Google's UI and yet it is very complete - all you'd ever want!

I don't see Live.com becoming a useful page, much like how the current My MSN is not useful (or interesting). The thing is -- it's ugly. No matter how useful something can be, if it doesn't have a "pretty" look, people wouldn't buy. That's the truth. To the geek, things like Live.com may seem wonderful, but something that utilizes RSS for content is hardly revolutionary.

Google's not meant to be a portal, so I really can't compare it. If has a portal-like option like MSN and AOL, but even that I wouldn't get in the habit of visiting a page I constructed myself. Microsoft is better off making a scaled down version of MSN.com and leaving it as that. RSS is no big deal.
