I've always had trouble finding what I want with MSN search. I'll use Google or Yahoo! Those are my favorites.

Well MSN's Hotmail inbox is a bit small, but Live mail is 2GB....and I've a feeling it'll be released fairly soon

I hope so as well. And about the search engine. It uses a more effective way of searching than Google, and is helpful in some cases, when Google turns up nonsensical results. I use Google for small searches, and many for more important ones.

If you are getting nonsensical results, you are probably using the wrong search parameters.
If I want to do a very specific search, I'll either use a few operators, or start from the Advanced Search page, which accomplishes much the same thing.

Not for Firefox users. Until Windows Live Mail supports other browsers, I'm staying away from Blinky Ad Land.

Any time is too long to be forced to dumb animated, blinking flashing advertisements.
Or any ads, at all, for that matter. With Firefox and Adblock, I see my mail, and nothing else I don't want to.

You open your computer up to viruses. E.g. The one that was on the Google Community homepage

If you have a good bulletproof vest, should you take your daily walk on a rifle range?
Due to the fundamental differences in the browsers, IE will always be open to new exploits that Firefox isn't.
Someone is always the first one to get smacked by a new virus, before it can be added to AV databases. If you'd like to be a guinea pig, you go ahead.

Generally I don't support Microsoft or even use their free products.
I just can't see how anyone can like them.
This is just one man's comment though and I welcome any debate.
