As Microsoft started crawling to build up their seach index in the summer of 2003, haven't they had five years already?

5 years ago Google had 4 bln pages indexed and things were a lot easier than now - the main problem with catching up Google is that they don't stand still and you have to run very hard to even maintain the gap, yet alone close it.
