Microsoft releases "MSN Toolbar" in beta form
 

I doubt this beats the google toolbar. I don't care for MSN Search and everything MS i need is already built into IE. If you don't already use the Google toolbar, i'd give the msn toolbar a try, at least it'll look decent! pick it up at http://toolbar.msn.com
