Microsoft expertise is making a hot-selling OS like windows and Google is known for a razor-sharp search engine. Therefore, they have different priorities and knacks.
Googles Rulez! no one can beat google.... the gmail, search engine, maps all of their stuff is easy to use.. and is BEST!
It will be hard for Microsoft to dominate the search engine market when their major focus and business model is surrounded around Operating Systems. I look at their search engine as a "side project" to see what happens.
each expert in own fields but google beat everything now as without it no developer can live no surfer can search for anything and its the best for now
or maybe MS just can't make a fast and simple search implementation same as Google because they are using slow O.S. with stunning graphics...
Ms can never beat Google for the user experience they are providing...Those guys in google know the mind of ppl using ther services
Actually, Microsoft (which owns live.com) is making some great innovation in live search ! I blogged about it at search1x.com. But in essence Microsoft is releasing some new innovative features that Google search does not have to try to catch up to Google. The advantage they have is that they have nothing to lose. We all habitually use Google but live search is actually quite innovative compare to Google now. Best way is to check it out and decide for yourself !
