From there MSFT will be the clear winner. To beat Google they will need to first:

buy Answers.com specifically for WikiAnswers

hire 15,000 editors to work around the clock answering and editing questions to create the ultimate Q&A database

integrate that into their current search + Powerset to create the ultimate 1 stop shop for answers to most any query

Second and most important…convince GW Bush to enact a law giving him the CEO role from Schmidt at Google once his term is up.

From there MSFT will be the clear winner.
