This is the way image search should be. It is stable under rotation, cropping, noise and loss of color. Very impressive!

Yes, definitely the way image search is supposed to be, available only to users of Microsoft products, and only those who use the extremely secure IE6 or IE7.

dude wtf? who writes web apps that don't work w/ firefox anymore? it's not like I'm running lynx.

I guess Microsoft does, since the URL is msresearch.us. Am I the only one that finds it strange that Microsoft still thinks they can succeed by trying to lock out the competition through tricks like this? The idea of a computer on every desk running Microsoft software is a perfectly fine goal, but that doesn't mean that they should run only Microsoft software. I can't believe that they still refuse to acknowledge that anyone else is capable of writing software that someone would want to use instead of their own, such as Firefox.
