"Dear Microsoft: Your stock price is dropping like a rock! do you realize how much money I lost already from holding 1 million shares of your stock, all because of you're CEO's planet-sized ego!? Please! Stop offering them more money or I'm liable to go broke!"

1- AnooX search results are are Democratically powered by the Knowledge of the People, what is called the "Wisdom of the Crowds".
2- Cost of Advertising on AnooX is much lower since AnooX is "not-profit-motivated".
3- AnooX is operated on an Open & decentralized model
In summary AnooX is doing for search engine business what MySQL did for database, which means to open it up and to greatly reduce the cost for small businesses. You can check them out here: www.anoox.com
I give you example of our small web site development company, we have SAVED about $12,000 in search engine Advertising over the last 12 months since we started Advertising on Anoox and our sales have gone up slightly too. Good for us, Bad for Google share holders, Go Anoox
P.S., For sake of full disclosure we benefit from Anoox as Advertiser, as Affiliate and get free chat room from them as well as use their free news Blog.
Or better yet just market MS current services better and build more datacenters to support the growth. MS Live will work if you make people aware of it but the only ones that are aware are the Geeks (and I don't use that as a put down, as I am one).
Get the general public to see MS Live and improve sources of multimedia content.
In other words, a world without Microsoft would have more innovation, stable systems, fair copyright laws rather then money driven and bribed for laws that stifle innovation and internet standards!!
The net might finally have one standard, and programmers would have access to info they need to write stable programs.
