Have you seen Google's stock prices lately? The search engine war is far, far more lucrative than the free web browser.

I'm not really talking about proffit or immediate financial gain for either company, I'm talking about importance.
IE has dominance on the desktop. Microsoft gets a lot of advertising and dictates a lot of standards on the web because of this dominance. While goggle has done very well to market itself and has been a pioneer on the web, it won't be as important to Microsoft to have the majority of searches completed through MSN as it is for the majority of users to view the entire web though IE.
So, I think that the importance of the browser war was much more significant then MSN vs. Google.
