"Then I'm unlucky, because when I go to MSN.COM "


That is funny. Its working great for me.
I entered "what is the population of Germany" at msn and it came up straight away with:
"Germany: Population, total: 82,424,609"

I asked :"German GDP"

and it swiftly came up with:
"Answer: Germany: GDP (gross domestic product): 1,984,094,960,240 U.S. dollars"

I have been having a lot of fun using msn this morning.

You keep having problems with msn search? Strange indeed.

Using the search is not a problem (and I have not complained of any!!).

There must be some sort of background filter that determines that I am in Switzerland and sends me automatically to the beta (will most likely be corrected when the Swiss servers are changed over).

I have overcome this by going directly to search.msn.com. I do not get redirected when querying from there.
