Google search just got better, but Windows Live Search is cool

We all are hardtime Googlers and needless to say, Google has made us thankful in more than one ways. We can pick our favourite stuff from the internet anytime, given that Google.com is not banned by our ISP, and thankfully we (at least I) live on the leeward side of Himalayas... We just need to type in there(the contemporary search box that hasn't change a pixel in a decade) and boom u have got the best matching result right there in front of you (and if the time taken for search is >1second, you can book your search item in GWR, and hopefully you'll get a Guinness trophy). Mostly this really is the right link, that we have been wondering(read wandering) for. But at times, we might beg to differ and expect(suspect!) that some other result(that may be somewhere down below) to be the most appropriate one. Well Google guys just read our minds(Thanks to Microwave Mind-Programming conspiracy theory) and launched the most awaited "SearchWiki". So finally we have democracy in the virtual world as well, where we can "vote" for the congruency of a result. We can now ↑grade a result if we feel so, just at a click of a button, and also ↓grade it from the unexpected prominence... This new feature will make sure that Google's page ranking bot learns indiscriminately from us, and we can let our voices(clicks) heard. We can now proudly claim 'our votes count' even in Google!

On the other Hand, Windows Live Search is making huge reverberations already. Their search engine is very powerful and the best part it, u get lots of features yet the interface dares to be the simplest of them ‘ol! The options are so clearly highlighted and the accessing is so easy, its hard to get fiddled. 

I'd share a personal experience, where I tried searching for “Indian Paintings” on both engines. The results:
Google-

LiveSearch-

I like the majestic way the search is performed via LiveSearch. The results were truly impeccable, and I am thrilled to announce that I have got 2 virtual buddies now, if one fails, I have the other ready. 

In a nutshell, both the engines rock, but I find LiveSearch better for image searches. If google uses AJAX, LiveSearch uses Silverlight! 

In this decade of serious competitions and niche technology war keep your fingers crossed, because what you assumed to be the best might probably be just a protocol for the future cyberspace.
