Wow, that's even more bullshit than Google doing nothing. There's no way
that PWC can audit MSN effectively, since they have no idea how many
clicks actually occurred. This is MSN buying some reputation, plain and
simple. They are wasting money on PWC so that they can say they care more.
Not that they are doing more, mind you, just that they care more.
