If you have ever bought a computer from HP/Compaq then you know that the OEM automatically sets your homepage to a specially designed one for you on Yahoo.  The Oem\'s are already doing deals.  When you get Adobe Acrobat now you automatically get a Yahoo search bar.  Now Google is jumping in with offering the Firefox browser with Google as its default.  And how many "freeware" companies are trying to shove IE toolbars down our throats.  They are using the negative opt out system too by automatically checking the "include Yahoo/Google toolbar".  I wonder if this is really the root of the complaint.  I wonder if the business model they push includes this captive audience of Google toolbar users?  Now without an IE7 toolbar, suddenly they don\'t have a captive audience.  What do you call an underdog that\'s no longer an underdog?  A free market competitor.

The quality of search result page does not decrease because these commercial links will show up there, because showing up on Google is make or break for many websites. This does not give any additional benefit to customers, except the free search. In the long run, it puts a drag on online commerce.

There\'s probably some cash incentive there. The DivX codec being the most prominent I can think of. The last time I looked at it I had to tell it twice not to install the Google toolbar and still it ended up on my machine. In my opinon tactics like that border on spyware, no matter how benign the Google toolbar may be.<br><br>Squarely on topic, I don\'t see what is stopping Google from using half of their homepage with a huge banner that says "Click here to make this go away and us your default search provider!" which invokes the OpenSearch API (Hell, they\'re free to be annoying and do it without any interaction each time you open Google until you finally give in).<br><br>It\'s also tremendously amusing to note posts from puzzled people who state that after installing IE 7 it defaulted to Google since that\'s how they had things set in IE 6.<br><br>Microsoft should just get Google to commit to the same kind of deal they have with FireFox. You\'d loose some MSN customers but if they use your main competitor you\'ll at least have them cough up a few pennies for every search made :-). That\'s a win-win scenario.<br><br>On a serious note, the first time a user enters a search in the search box, IE could just direct to <a href="http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/searchguide/default_new.mspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/searchguide...</a> and have the user pick.</div>\

We\'ve pre-selected Windows Live Search because we think it\'s just spiffy.  Also, we get the ad revenue it generates."<br><br>The fact that Firefox or Safari or Camino or whatever other browser you can cite doesn\'t do this is mitigated by one very important factor.  Two browsers are shipped with current computers (IE and Safari -- Linux rarely ships with a computer, so I\'ll ignore it for now) and only one of those browsers defaults to using a search engine that generates a per-click profit for the company that ships the OS.<br><br>Firefox ships with a default of Google because Firefox makes money on a per-click basis from Google.  Good for them.  No one is being forced to use Firefox.  We\'re being forced to use IE and Safari, at the very least to go and download the browser of our choice.<br><br>Finally: Yes, Microsoft is being pressured into playing by rules different from their competitors.

And if you do not like default then you could pay to Google to be shown on the side.<br><br>Not setting the default for the search box is also default. In this case, Microsoft runs a risk that it is giving a functionality which does not work at the beginning.<br><br>As such whatever default Microsoft choose, its only obligation is to allow others to change that default. Anybody who is on the chain from Microsoft to consumers could change the default. It is bad for Google it is not in the chain. Well, sometimes you are not given the opportunity naturally but have to buy it.<br><br>In this case, it is good for consumers. Because that way search engines compete for getting users just like any business. Why do you want to treat search engine business from any other. Any other business buys customer. Either by making right partnership or by aggresive marketing. Both of these choices are open to Google.<br><br>If Google tries to be frugal and does not want to spend money on advertising then it is not Microsoft\'s fault. If Google tries to be selfish and does not want to share its revenue via OEMs then it is again not Microsoft\'s fault. If Google wants to compete only on quality and not on value then again it is not Microsoft\'s fault. Microsoft is playing fair and protecting consumer here. Microsoft is giving customers the most important tool called "bargaining". Customers will need this tool for a lot of other online services.<br><br>PS: The commentator is a Microsoft employee.

Really I couldn\'t care one way or the other, but the arguments made here are really good.  Firefox can use MSN search according to like, 3 guys on this blog comment list.  But ppl keep saying that it isn\'t possible.<br><br>To say google is having a double standard is rediculous and unintelligent.  Google has no OS, to populate the world, nor does it therefore control the desktop of all new to computer folk in existance, as MS does.  Google is the search on Firefox (lets just say that they are the only game FF allows).  What are the usage statistics for IE vs FF?  You guys argue over default=good/bad.. whatever.  The point is that it is easily forseeable that this default search issue could topple a better search just in its "convenience" to novices.<br><br>I don\'t use MSN search, and haven\'t since Google started (or was it webcrawler.. hmm.).  Scoble\'s buddy Chris Pirillo practically went on detox not using google for a period of time.  And his frustrations are apparent and listed plainly as a user that WOULD use good search terms (as he\'s in industry, I would assume he would know how to do this) and still could not get good results for.. well most anything using.. well everything BUT google.<br><br>Google is better, duh.  MSN wants to bring it all in house.. duh.<br>I really don\'t see that being a problem if they could provide the product of quality that even could stand next to google.  As of now, its not there.  I wonder if MS has considered "upgrading features" in vista so that google couldn\'t get its google desktop to work on there.  (thats just a question really, not an accusation.. but we all know its been done and is done regularly)</div>\
