Microsoft offers $44.6 billion for acquisition of Yahoo!

[[GSV]Trig]

This MS's way of admitting that the Live! search is crap?

[DR]

I don't think they bought Yahoo specifically for search.... more of the 'product' approach... Brand and solution...

Yeah, this is showing desperation by Microsoft to make some kind of headway in the search engine market for which they are failing (i just love putting Microsoft and the word 'failing' in one sentence). It also proves that MS have never been able to succesfully create their own software, they have pretty much always bought it and made it buggy.

You get better results searching Microsoft.com on Google than you do with Windows Live!
