How Google Shot Microsoft After It Took A Knife To A Gunfight | |

Google’s a split-personality company. On the one hand, it wants people to believe that it could lose its customers at any time, lest it get viewed as a monopoly. But question its ability on the technical front, and the Big G will go off on you like nobody’s business. That’s what happened this week to Microsoft. | ||

| I was kinda surprised that Ballmer was bragging about MS Live Search (ok not really that's kinda what he's always done). One thing I will say is I've actually tried Live Search a bit more often lately and frankly its quite good. Kinda odd to hear myself saying that tbh. Anywho, I've found Googls search too often cluttered with paid ads so recently I'll actually use Live Search. I've yet to be disappointed, while not quite as good as Googles yet, it is leaps and bounds where it was a year ago w/o a doubt. |

#1, I've noted the same thing. Live Search has come a very long way and increasingly, the results are more immediately relevant than Google's - and sans the paid ads.

| I tried Live Search a year or two ago. Every result I got seemed to lead to a Microsoft store or online partner store, as if the entire point of a search engine was for commerce. I don't know about the rest of you, but when I'm searching for information it's not usually so that I can purchase something. |

| Live search is not there yet. The true test is setting your browser's search default to Live and seeing how often you also do a Google search. In my case it was often. I suspect the answer to the reverse situation would be never. |
