Windows Live Search

There's now a new competitor for Google to contend with and it's called Windows Live Search and is Microsoft's attempt to crack into the internet search business. Live Search has been in Beta form for a while and went through a few changes, and has now been launched without the beta tag. The result is a clean easy to use design similar to Google, but Microsoft still has work ahead of them to finish off the features they have been hyping in recent months. The battle heats up a bit more with Microsoft now on the block!

A Look Inside Windows Live Search
"In the Internet search space, Google has set a clear precedent: When you create a service, first you go with what you've got. Then when the bugs seem to have died down, you drop the word "beta" and you call it a launch. Late yesterday, Microsoft dropped the "beta" from Windows Live Search, the culmination of its original Live.com project the company "launched" last November". Beta News
