From the Pointless Task desk, Microsoft thinks it can reinvent their search wheel.
First off: why bother? Live was, is, and probably always will be crap. I'd have better luck searching for useful results with a scrying bowl. And I'm no sorceror.
Second, most of the damn planet is trained to use Google. Accept that. Move on.
Third. I take it all back. This should be funny as hell to watch Microsoft spend billions to fall on it's face again. And again.
I mean, they are losing the ad war to Apple when the Mac is an overpriced piece of eye candy with proprietary hardware. How do you not beat that in the marketplace of ideas? Even with buggy software. They've lost the geek crowd almost entirely to Linux. Seriously, give out some free OSes, open it up, and let the hobby crowd fix your errors for you. THEN sell it to Grandma in a prepackaged box at Beast Buy. Come on!
Microsoft: too big to fall, but not so big that their screwups can be covered up.
