I'm just wondering what made Amazon moved to MSN. Are they not satisfied from the services of Google?

The executives of Amazon didn't made a comment of the move. The answer for the question of whether MSN is better than Google is just:

Quote

It will be up to users to try that out.

I think it will be a bad move. MSN sucks!!!

I'm sure MS made some kind of deal with amazon and its about money.

Im usually in the loop about these things...i never even knew they switched!
Thats an upset, google was making a small profit ( but still profit ) off of it.

It could have something to do with the lawsuit against Google and Yahoo in regards to their Adsense/Overture programs. Microsoft has publicly tried to distance themselves from even commenting on the suit. Usually they are pretty clear about what position they are taking, but they are playing this one close to the vest.

Wow, that is stupid. Google is obviously better than MSN, you're right, Microsoft must have made some kind of deal with them.

Everybody has, I don't know why people use MSN and Yahoo as their first choice. Sometimes I'll use MSN as an alternative, and I hate Yahoo. Don't know why...
