What do I think? I think it succeeds admirably in what it actually set out to do, which is to provide a gee-whiz, isn't-that-cool front end to MS' regular search engine as a way of demonstrating the cool stuff you can do with Silverlight. It was never intended to take market share from Google (mindshare maybe). |
"Silverlight requires Windows or Mac OS X" this suxxxx |
A linux version is developped by Microsoft... But no date for release... |
Wow, even the video demonstration requires Silverlight...lame. |
Isn't this fricking awesome!!!! |
wish www.quintura.com has something like that |
Well it's the same thing as http://msdewey.com – looks cool initially, gets lots of clicks on digg but after a while you discover how unusable it is and forget about it.
Simplicity of current search engines is not without a reason. |
I think I feel like your first paragraph is a good description of my feelings. |
don't support linux , suxxxxxxxxxx |

Well, that's only because you are using 1.0 version. In 1.1, the browser will automatically show you white text on a blue background after a while and then restart itself, for user convenience. It would still would not show anymore results though.
Thx for this hilarious news. Keep them coming! :-)
Cheers,

I think that anything made by MS is not worth mentioning anymore :-P |
Features like the results stacking are worth the look. Otherwise, slow and complex search engines forget to do their main job : "Bring a fast and simple way to find answers." |
