I don't even know who to pay. I don't know how MSN works, but I hear that Google pride themselves in the fact that they don't let special interests pay them off. "I don't know who to pay" may be an interesting antonym to "openness", but I hope it's not universal. The problem with proprietary, ahem, ecosystems is that some arbitrary entity decides who gets a chance and who doesn't. Again, I don't use MSN, so I can't say about them. But I've never had reason to believe Google discriminates content based on authorship. It will even index proprietary, closed formats such as Word an Excel. Make your format interesting for enough people and Google might index it. Now let's see Microsoft(R) develop an open format that will be interesting for enough people for Google to index.
