Google is losing Desk Search to Microsoft, is WEB Search under threat from Vista as well?

More on Google is here.
Panama and Vista are making life at Google harder and harder by the day. What will happen if customers of Vista will use more build in Search than Google and completely will switch to MSN for search? More and more customers could actually switch for using build in features without going out to Browser from different applications of Vista.
"SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Score one for Microsoft in its battle with Google Inc. Global Equities Research analyst Trip Chowdhry says Microsoft's software program to search home or office computers is winning customers away from Google . Chowdhry bases his conclusions on a survey he conducted of owners of Microsoft's new Vista operating system, which includes a desktop search feature. He found that many Vista owners that once used Google's desktop search feature have switched to Microsoft's. "Consumers we spoke with like Vista's search," Chowdhry wrote in a note to clients. "A strategic loss to Vista desktop search may indicate selective vulnerability of Google against Microsoft."
