My opinion only, you understand...


For 'business users' read: newbies.


If anything, business users are more likely to use Yahoo or MSN - one being

the top brand and the other being the one most likely to have come with the

browser. AltaVista, AskJeeves and Lycos have made some inroads locally (can

you guess why?), but experimentation rarely goes beyond this.


OK, I've said my piece - bring on the flames!
