So much truth and still so much room for debate here…

It's Time For Microsoft To Face Reality About Search And The Internet (MSFT)

So much truth and still so much room for debate here…

I quote:

“So it is time for Microsoft to recognize that no company can do everything and that competing with everyone from IBM-and-Oracle to Sony-and-Nintendo to Apple-and-RIM to Google-and-Yahoo is just a recipe for failure.  Microsoft should refocus on its enterprise business, defend itself against Apple's platform attack and Google's lame app incursions, and give up on its consumer Internet business.”

Microsoft Launches Bing… no one really notices.

Microsoft launched it’s new search engine (decision engine as it hyperbolically dubs it) for the rest of the world today as part of it’s bid to unseat Google as the king of search.

Actually, it’s far likelier that Microsoft just wants a larger share of the search market and to put a dent in Google’s ad revenue juggernaut.

Visit www.bing.com to learn more.

My first impression is that it is really impressive and has some of what it might take to lure people from their Google habit.

Check out the video search http://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=bing+launch+video&FORM=BVFD easily the best feature and far better than Google’s own interpretation.
