Microsoftians prefer Google

In a peculiar kind of irony, the drones at Microsoft prefer not to eat their own dog food when it comes to searching the web. According to an internet monitor, MS employees are turning up their noses at the company's newly launched search engine and sticking instead with Google, by a large margin.

Mind you, the data could be skewed by the possibility MS folk visit the MSN search via an intranet, so let's not get carried away. But this could be the beginning of a long-running internet myth.

In a similar vein, the survey shows one-third of Apple's employees choose not to use the company's own web browser, Safari.

Nobody's perfect, eh?
