I had to be informed about this from someone else... I'm hardly the geek you came here for!MSN search for Taxis in Seattleand for comparison...Google search for Taxis in SeattleI wish that MSN would use the virtual earth interface instead of that fairly annoying map point one. Anyhow, though it's close, Google's the winner on this one, not only for the niceness of the search results (better table layout) but the maps flow and drag is just so much nicer, especially in how fluid it feels. MS has a very nice additional search, and parses better, but the best feature they have is the ability to click on the letter of the search returns and have it center and highlight the item in the map. Pick your poison... either is highly recommended!
