Is Bill Gates out to possess the very soul of computing? There's probably no shortage of IT people who would agree, and now they can point to Google to prove that they're not simply demonizing the company. Last week if you typed "go to hell" (with the quotation marks) into Google's search box, the first result of 213,000 was Microsoft's home page! Insert scary "Exorcist" music here. Currently, Google is displaying different results.
