Microsoft Offers A Peek At New Search Engine
ObsessiveMathsFreak writes "The Inquirer is reporting that Microsoft is offering a preview of its new search technology. The search engine preview has a minimalist interface, similar to Google. Microsoft claims over one billion web pages searched, but admits the fact that searching is a little slow. This technology hasn't yet been incorporated into MSN Search, though the site claims it eventually will be. In related news, the Financial Times is reporting that Microsoft are to improve the regular MSN Search site by removing paid advertisements from regular internet searches, a move that will cost them 'tens of millions of dollars.' Are the Search Engine Wars finally upon us?"
Their site seems to rely on javascript and ASPX heavily. I seriously doubt that these technologies will help creating a larger market share...
Are you just that desperate for antiMS comments that you would come up with a way to troll this?
Linux.com is the FIRST hit. What moe would you like. You act like their first hits are anti-Linux articles!
Fucking idiot.
Hanlon's Razor:
Never attribute to malice that which can adequately explained by stupidity.
Slashdot modifier:
Except in the case of Microsoft, in which case both malice and stupidity should be attributed.
