Looks like one of those browser hijacker homepages. Looks cluttered and is no where near as clean, simple, and comforting as Google

Indeed. I'm been playing around with it and it beats Google's coolness by a factor of 10. Dynamic draggable modules, you can customize the page with so much or so little information.

And I have to admit the text search is great too. Results are on par with Googles. They need a good image search.

Google has to be sweating a little right now. If MS makes Start.com the default homepage for IE7, they are bound to convert a good percentage of loyal Googlers.

Free. Probably sued the poor kid who had it claiming they have the trademark rights to it.

Or since they got it back in 94-95, probably not a whole lot. Was it $75 back then?
