yes, try this:

in msnbeta. The third result doesn't even have that term in it. And is about as bad a result as it can be. And as inappropriate, unless somebody is doing something like googlebombing that page from external links or something.

this is why I don't expect to see msn going live any time soon.

If you're right, I don't expect to see msn be giving google any serious competition in the near future. That's a stupid idea, but search engines have been trying to do that. If MSN tries something that dumb on their first release product they deserve to fail.
