Microsoft To Launch Homegrown Search Engine

Mr. Christmas Lights writes "While Google is currently the king-of-the-hill in search engines, Microsoft continues to lag in market share and uses Yahoo's technology/results. But Cnet reports that they'll launch on Thursday their own homegrown search engine , although it appears this is mostly a face-lift (despite a year of development and $100 million investment). According to Bill Gates, they 'will introduce a homegrown web crawler and algorithmic search engine ... later this year,' which is almost certainly their tech preview (you can look at this now) -- but will that be ready for prime-time in less than two months?"

Google copied Microsoft.

Bill Gates is the world's most brilliant innovator. He invented the word processor, spreadsheet, database, compiler and the operating system, and then he went on to invent the internet as well. Recently, he has cured cancer.

Stop denigrating Bill Gates just because you can't be as good as him.

Bill Gates is a resolute leader.
