The new MSN 7.0 messenger has Search in built into the messenger. Next to the “Send” button in the conversation window, there’s also a “Search” button that let’s you instantly search whatever you type in the box. But this doesn’t simply fire up your browser pointing it to MSN Search! It’s actually “Shared Search”, which goes and searches MSN Search and then returns a few results to both you and your contact!

I still prefer Google!!!

But this may be the first step by Microsoft to integrated Search into Windows.
Currently Google outperforms MSN search, the day the MSN search is on par with Google search results Microsoft can use the Windows ploy to shift users from Google.
