Google surpasses Microsoft as world's most-visited site

[Computer Hope Admin]

It's official: Google rules the world.

The Mountain View search engine has outstripped Microsoft on two fronts, becoming both the most visited Web site and the most valuable global brand.

I can't believe so many people make use of the Microsoft website.. What the *censored* are they doing there?

My guess would be that it's the IE users who still have their home page set to a Microsoft related page and/or using the default Microsoft search engine.

Hm, was it MSN.com or microsoft.com?

[Computer Hope Admin]

I believe the metrics takes into account all domains msn.com, microsoft.com, xbox.com, etc. and counts it as Microsoft.

Heh, 99% of all our school computers use Google as their home page. Any that still use msn.com as a home page, I change it to Google for future convenience, so I can "get in, get out, then wash up after using the so-called 'Pentium 4' which is as slow as heck."

There. I singlehandedly caused this upset.

Aren't you supposed to rest?

go google go....

Could be the people using Windows/Microsoft/Office Update too.
And don't forget all the people looking for solutions to problems on their site, or downloading other things.
I still can't believe they had 527 million visitors, and rising.

lol i think all mainstream search engines suck... mainly because they get blocked at workplaces etc.

Could be because people at work are expected to be working...
