In a Reuters article this
morning Neil Holloway, Microsoft President for Europe, Middle East and Africa, claimed that within six months,
Microsoft's internet search engine will return
more relevant results to users than Google will, specifically for users in the United States.
This new search engine will be integrated into Hotmail as well as MSN Messenger, but Holloway does not confirm if it will be built into Vista.
This is not the first time Microsoft has claimed they were poised to take on Google in
the web search space. Previous attempts have been utter failures; let's hope this time is different.
1. I would not be surprized if MSN pulls it off this time; the results of MSN an Yahoo are not far off in quality from Google's now.
