Anyone used Microsoft Webmaster Tools? It doesn't seem that bad. It's very carbon copy of the Google system with a kind of more complex verification/authentication process (that it checks every time, so you can't delete the file you create) - which seems a little more secure.
It does have one very nice tool - it will tell you which domains are backlinking to you, and what it thinks of them. Which I think is handy for keeping track of things - would be nice if Google had one. Otherwise, it's not nearly as functional.

Gotta love microsoft. They done the exact same with Vista and Mac OSX. They done the exact same with Zune and iPod, and now they're doing it with Webmaster Tools and Webmaster Tools.
Thanks for the link btw, never knew it existed.

Being using MS Webmaster Console for a while. Easily the best of the big 3's in my opinion.

Off-topic I agree that the webmaster tools is a copy of Google's and that Microsoft have copied a lot of things - but I think the GUI icon-driven OS was invented by Xerox in their PARC research programme - and was very well done by Amiga too - before Apple.....
