>>The way I see it, Rather than try to make money from one website, MS will make millions of dollars by selling 'per-click words'.
I really doubt micro$oft are going to turn the internet into a pay per click search engine. What microsoft is doing will bar far more subtle. If anything they'd just use this ability to leverage deals (such as the aol one) and threaten their rivals, as well as steer users towards msn and .net services, albeit slyly. But I'd doubt they'd have the nerve to do that. After all, that is one they'd definitely get hammered for by doj.
