Microsoft Claims Worlds Best Search Engine Soon 536

Posted by samzenpus from the google-fight dept.
kw writes "Microsoft will introduce a search engine better than Google in six months in the United States and Britain followed by Europe, its European president said on Wednesday. "What we're saying is that in six months' time we'll be more relevant in the U.S. market place than Google," said Neil Holloway, Microsoft president for Europe, Middle East and Africa. That timing would presumably coincide more or less with the launch of Vista."

    they just have to patch the new IE shipped with Vista so that it redirects everything from Google to OurNewMSN.com ... provided that they're able to ship Vista in such large numbers that this move is relevant, anyway...

    No, really it is true. Here is a copy of the beta code that I obtained through some shady contacts:

    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
    <TITLE>Microsoft Search Engine</TITLE>
    <META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh"
    CONTENT="0; URL=http://www.google.com/>
    </HEAD>
    <BODY>
    Wher e do you want to go today?
    </BODY>
    </HTML>
  • If they were going to have a search engine better than Google, they would just do it, not announce it 6 months in advance.

    Very simple, they want to catch those big bosses who are afraid of choosing the wrong technology. People may have been thinking "I WAS going to search for something today... But what if I use the wrong search engine? I'd better wait six months and see how this MSN thing looks and try again."
