FWIW, this way cheaper and less disruptive to MS than trying to buy Yahoo. If this semantic thing is any good, I give it 6 months before it goes live and Google has a panic attack.

The problem facing MS at this point is Google is a trusted brand, it's not just about who's best and which are the better relevant results, it's about something familiar and trusted. It will easily take 12 months for the buzz to shift a majority of people's browsing habits from Google to Live, assuming the semantic search makes it online in the first place.
