Microsoft to challenge Google - Good Luck

Boston.com / Business / Technology / Microsoft to challenge Google

"Steve Ballmer, president and CEO of Microsoft Corp., said a few days ago that his company is 'hell-bent and determined' to challenge Google Inc. for leadership in the Internet search business...

"...left no doubt that Microsoft has targeted Internet search services for the kind of all-out competitive push that the company once used to seize dominance in Web browser software. Despite Google's popularity, 'the search market is still quite fragmented,' Ballmer said, and existing tools still generate lots of useless results. Ballmer said Microsoft plans to invent new search technology that will change this, and make life more difficult for Google and other rivals."

Well Steve, I wish you luck. You may have "all the money in the world" but if I were Google, I would watch my back, but certainly not loose any sleep over it.
