Microsoft has figured out all of our p0rn searches for the indefinite future? Get the popcor... I mean vaseline and lean back.

Another patent monopolizing on something that's broad as hell!

Microsoft has found a way to predict future search queries from user log data

What possible good could come from this other than MS making a crap ton of money off of user's "use logs"?

People thought google was evil...

Yes, I still run Win 7 as my main OS, with virtuals of several other 'nix OSes, just doesn't make me feel too comfortable about MS's future products!

Google still is evil as the article is clearly pointing out that Microsoft is merely playing catch-up to Google. Only difference is Microsoft never ran with the slogan, "Don't be Evil" and everyone already knows Microsoft has been slightly evil since a long time ago. Good ole Bill was renown for his market brutality against friends, enemies, and competitors.

Simply reverse engineering what makes Google tick is a step up from their supposed search-copying that Google was claiming awhile back.

Let's remember, Bing steal seach results from Google with they toolbar and IE, so in the best case Bing will be a copy of Google.

Like everything else M$, they are playing copy-cat/catch-up.

Google's Instant Search is a failure. It's annoying and not useful at all. Microsoft shouldn't be imitating it.

I refuse to use Bing [Microsoft's Shopping Channel]. Google Search is good. It doesn't ANNOY me like Bing does
