Excellent enhancement for Internet Explorer


MSN Search is fine, but falls significantly short of Google. However, the desktop search extension, the ability to customise (including choice of Web search engine), and the ease of use make this a serious choice for IE users. The tabbed browsing implementation is OK, if a little clunky. If the latter is all you want, wait for IE 7.0 or go for rival browsers. But, as a complete package, this rates highly.

I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?
