Microsoft Testing Rival to Google's Start Page

aer0 writes "It looks like Microsoft has quietly put up their version of Google's start page. It's interesting in several ways. First, the layout and use of javascript is strikingly similar to Google's. Second, one of the few major differences is that there is no MS equivalent banner or other flashing indication that it is an MS site."

One cool new feature that Google's start page doesn't seem to have: when you click on a story, you can get a preview in a sort of popup window, without having to leave the site.

Even if this is Microsoft, competition is always good for us as it tends to make everyone improve.

On a Mac, I have the same results whether I use Safari, Opera, Firefox or IE 5.2.
