An interesting article of Internet Outsider [1] : MSN Falls Farther Behind [2]. The comment is based on the poor MSN's December-quarter results [3].

Some entertaining excerpts:

• "Far from being a credible Google challenger,
  MSN isn't even in the same league."
• "MSN is even losing ground in this race."
• "Google, meanwhile, is so far ahead
  that it's not even visible over the horizon."
