It's not often that I go to the Google front page these days. Most of my browsing time is spent in Firefox or Safari, so when I'm searching, I use the little search bar that they have.
On my test laptop at work, I've been playing with the IE7 beta. It has a search bar just like Firexox and Safari do, so I haven't been going to the Google main page on that system much either. Til yesterday...
I went to the main Google page in IE7 and they changed it. Now there's a button that shows up under the search bar in IE7 that changes it to search Google if you click it. I think this is the first time I've ever seen an ad targeted at a user specifically of a particular browser to get them to change a setting. I changed it to search Google as soon as I installed the beta so I hadn't clicked on it, but it's still clever.
