hi, I don't know how to put it, but the real war is not a search war but a media war. It was said long before that Google will be challenged and amazon was pointed as the third member pointing to some of their latest patents and research interests.
MS will never ditch the OS business and might produce crappy or better software as per the competition. Its a market they are confident and sure of to find initial capital and working expenses for their other projects. All search engine technologies till date follow the same basic structure, so whoever finds the better algorithm to do an index and retrieval will do well in the end. Statistics from Comscore shows a good performance by Bing in the initial weeks. An immediate side effect predicted is a potential take over of Yahoo! by Microsoft. About the strategies, competition and war is good for the customers since it gives them better products at cheaper rates. >From what I see and what i hear, the war is good for customer. But from freedom point of view, I am not seeing any immediate effects on anything. cheers Jinesh K J On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 10:51 PM, Yadu Nand <[email protected]> wrote: > > I can't figure what the fuss is about..
