Microsoft has had to dampen down speculation that it intends to roll out a Google-killer search engine in the US and UK within six months.
The trouble started when the European head of Microsoft, Neil Holloway spoke to a group of journalists. He was quoted by Reuters among others as declaring that 'What we're saying is that in six months' time we'll be more relevant in the US market place than Google.' This was taken by the assembled journalists as a pre-announcement of a new search engine product that would produce better results than Google.
