A lot of people I know set google to their home page even if they  
don't  know to change their search bar default.  The other day I was  
trying to change someone's default search engine on their search bar  
in IE, (it was a version of IE with a search bar and tabs, don't know  
which one), and somehow it was impossible to change the default to  
google.  A good trick if you're a monopoly.  I wonder how many people  
are really stuck with MSN as default search bar engine or whatever it  
is MS wants you to use.
