I was just fiddling with the Beta of MSN Search. Get this: you can Solve for X. Google currently has a pretty good calculator, but it seems as if MSN's Beta Search's calculator is more advanced.

Nice. It also seems to handle quadratic equations pretty well. So the thing knows Algebra II, I suppose (I tried "x^2+2x+1=0").

Now to try Trig. "sin(45)" works well enough. "sin(x)=0.850904", however, does not.

I can't seem to get the roots for quadratic equations... o_O

Oh well, I rarely use calculators online, I have my own trusty Casio scientific calculator... =)

Everything you said in that post was kinda misleading. I'd like to clarify things. Last I checked, Windows Calculator doesn't do any advanced mathematics, not even to the level of basic "Solve for X" algebraic equations. MSN Search is nowhere close to better results, that may be a matter of your personal opinion, but I believe most can agree that Google's current searching technology is superior to that of MSN Search Beta. MSN Search is public, it is just still in Beta. Try and make sure you provide correct information in your posts. Thanks.

Hahaha great joke hahahhaha

I couldn't stop laughting for about 20min, hahhaahaha MSN better than Google hahahahahahaha....

Really funny, I was kindda of mood but now I'm happy again hehehehehe...

Google has the best results ever.... I could find nothing in MSN, also they have pay for inclusion so you're not really getting real results for your keywords, google uses sites content to get keywords so is like asking a wise man about history... Always have a right answer...


Try to research before posting such a JOKE...
