Oh well. Thanks for that. It made me fix my sig a bit.
That is awful. Wow. Why do you insist on keeping that?

Not sure if there's even a point in trying to be on topic here, but here goes...
Referring to Microsoft as 'getting owned' is a ridiculous exaggeration, but it is true that Microsoft is competing in many different markets and gaining ground in very few of them. It's also true that Microsoft has recently taken a substantial hit to their profit margins, although those margins remain pretty damn huge.
So Microsoft is shrinking a little and continues to seek out new markets to do battle in, from supplanting Flash on the web to opening a retail chain. Stronghold Windows and Stronghold Office, though slowly eroding, are largely intact, and it makes sense to strike out into new markets while you still have a position of strength, but Microsoft keeps targeting established markets rather than trying to build new ones, which is a very expensive way to try to grow a company.
They have a long way to go before I'd say that they're really in trouble, but I don't see things turning around for Microsoft in the short term, either.

Also, to be on topic, I like Bing. It comes up with better results than Google.
Somehow.
| Nintendo Zealot said: It is clear that Microsoft will lose this generation for gaming systems (at least from the standpoint of Hardware units sold) but it also looks like they will lose the search engine war before it even really begins. Incase you have been living under a rock recently, Microsoft just launched "Bing" its new search engine which is a significantly better search engine than Windows Live. It has been said that Bing is almost as good as google. I thought it would be tough to get people to switch from Google to Bing when the products were similar, but Google just upped the competition by announcing "Caffine", their new search engine architecture. I couldn't see Bing successfully dethrowning Google before, but with "Caffine" which is significantly better than Google previous engine, Microsoft has no chance. Anyone disagree and think Microsoft will prevail? Cough cough Zune... cough |
They're better off with software alone. Since they entered the hardware industry and released the xbox 360 and the epic fail zune there've been some hardware difficulties, be it the red lights and the zune's timed memory wipe out.

Your biased fanboyism is always appreciated. 
I mean come on, if you count all the RRoD'd 360s that didn't get replaced, there's only like 26 million 360s out there! /sarcasm
Yeah they will come back, they are doing great and making lots of money.

Google announced this because of the success of Bing. It is a great engine and has some nice features. The image and video searches in particular are great.
