This is classic FUD. It's true of course, but Microsoft pronouncing this as though it's an oversight of current web-search technology, and implying they knolw how to do better, is barefaced cheek. But the fact is, Google has demonstrated that search engines are still hot, and Microsoft want to contest that space.

But Google is great because of it's web ethics, and you'll only beat them if you can improve on them in that space. Microsoft is smart and adaptable. I'd like to see them try.
