I have noticed the very same thing.

I see that Internet Explorer defaults to MSN, which must account for a
lot of it.

Since I moved my "playground" site to a new ISP 4 weeks ago
( <a style='text-decoration: underline;' href="http://hem.bredband.net/arnel/" target="_blank">http://hem.bredband.net/arnel/</a> ), I still see Google pointing all
searches to the old site with my previous ISP where it still is up,
but not updated.

Recently I find MSN Search as referer to the URL at my new ISP. MSN
was a very rare referer to the old URL. So I'll guess MSN was faster
to find my new URL. Still waiting for Google to find it

You didnt set up 301 redirects? If not Google sees your site on the new ISP
as a new site and may never list it...If you had set up a 301 it would have
found it by now.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Get a link to it from a site already in the index that is regularly
spidered.

And further, it would transfer all your old PageRank to the new one.

Then pour you a beer, and give you a blow-job.

As I said, it's my "playground" site (for fun and for testing things)
so i'm not worred about it. No need for redirects (have no access to
the old page either any more) an no need for PR either

And this is one of my tests, I want to see how long it takes to get
listed for a new site with non or very little "help". It took about
three months for the same site on my old ISP server. My participation
in this thread was only to the fact that MSN was able to find it
faster than Google this time, and that was a suprise

Talking about PR, I don't give much for that when it comes to sites
with content in other languages than English. Especially for a small
language as Swedish (that only about aprox 10 - 12 million people
understand) there is no chance to get high PR.

I understand that e.g. sites for English speaking peoples don't have
much to offer their English speaking visitors by linking to a site
with content only in a language they don't understand
