  1. Comment - Microsoft cobbles together a 'Plan C' for online search

    (May 19, 2008 - 1:32 PM)

    LOL. It wont matter if they buy part of Yahoo or create their own search engine. The problem with Yahoo, AOL and any search engine whose actual primary purpose is to deliver advertising, is that people dont like them. Google is successful because when you go to their home page, there is nothing but the familiar, simple interface which does not bombard you with ads, banners and special offers.

    When will the marketing people stop messing with things they do not understand? Im sure that whatever they come up with will be FORCED upon the Windows users, and given the option to opt out (after navigating through a gauntlet of option boxes and Windows alerts). This strategy died with the 20th Century. Microsoft doesnt get it.
