Can you say the same about IE6-8?? Microsoft, with MSN and it's Live initiative is on a quest to build its search-based revenue. Steve Balmer said that building this part of the Microsoft business was a 5-year plan. They are on year 3 and haven't had a lot of additional penetration, so I wouldn't put t past them to do something like that. There are a large number of Microsoft watchdogs that would have a field day if something like that happened, so I am guessing that they would at least ask permission first.
