Has anyone heard if micro$oft are planning a search engine.  Though this
wouldn't
explain the ingoring of robot.txt and the taking of images.  Although
the stupidity
of micro$oft and it's complete inability to understand the 'net would
explain these.

But I also heard of Bills plan to set up the graphics collection of the
millenium 
and copyright the whole lot.  And now that he thinks the USA have the
world sucking 
on their big toe on the copyright issue, who know what Bill thinks he
can get away 
with.

And as far as someone making micro$oft look bad, I ask, do they need to
try.
