They are already testing a new bot at the moment and im sure they will ditch the rest for their own!
MSN uses Overture, Looksmart (directory results) and Inktomi as the back end.
I think it will move to a mix of their new bot results and looksmart (who operate a PPC scheme too).
It will be interesting to see if MSNsearch can aquire anything themselves - i think it would be blocked personally.
MAkes it all a bitmore interesting...
