Live Search Lagging

Recent research shows that despite having a brand-new search engine, Microsoft continues to lose ground to Google. And you know why? Because Microsoft's Live Search isn't as good. I made the vain move of Googling myself (admit it, you do it to!), and came up with 18,700 results. Live Search crushed my ego with only 3,527 pages. I'm not switching till Live has at 20,000 Barney hits.
