A Hired Gun for Microsoft in Dogged Pursuit of Google

Funny how I only even think of Bing when I come across a reference on ycombinator, Then forget about it all over again.<p>His biggest issue is that 90% of people have Google as their homepage, I don't even think about it when it opens anymore, Its just always there as I need it.

Doesn't seem like a hired gun to me. Seems he's very ethical and loyal to whoever happens to be his employer and is not driven solely by financial reward.

I have Google as my home page. Also a TON of rss feeds on igoogle.

Very inspiring to read about his drive and work-ethic!

Goodness. He takes money?

<i>And with an engineer’s logic, he laid out his reasons for returning to the fray. Search determines where users go online, and search advertising is the most powerful economic force on the Internet. The business is too important to be controlled by a single company, he says.</i><p>Whatever search engine you prefer, it is kinda hard not to agree with that statement.
