We all know Google Does Have the Monopoly on Search Can that dominance still be attacked By Microsoft in a different way after failing to buy Yahoo.

With the latest news release about HP laptops having installed default Live Search ( I thought it was Yahoo Before ), could Microsoft have decided to attack Google's Search market dominance in a different way, and could this also mean more money for PC Manufacturers and ISP's, Mobile Phone Co's plus even move aggressively in Publisher area more etc for moving to Live Search.

They still have a war chest of money to gain market share and if they can improve their search closer to the quality of Google could there be a real fight for market share

It would be interesting to know who is tied to who as far as defaults on PC's, ISP's etc.

They are typing google.com into their browser address bar. I do this without even thinking about it, Microsoft can throw Live all over my computer and I wouldn't use it.

A couple of months ago I made an online order for a new Dell PC (personally customized for my needs). When it arrived I was both surprised and delighted to find that it came with the Google Desktop and Toolbar pre-installed.
