MS challenges Google

Microsoft is seriously preparing to challenge Google; the n°1 search engine on this planet. Google is so popular in fact, that it entered our everyday vocabulary, you don't say "search for it on the Internet" anymore, instead you say "Google it".

Back to Microsoft, I must admit that, so far, their services looks quite promising; besides the cool domain name and clean look, they added interesting 'gadgets' in a fully customizable dashboard. For example, if you use Hotmail or MSN Messenger you can have it integrated in the page, you can also view weather forecast for your city and even get your favorites blogs or other news sources fed straight into the page! I'm definately giving it a go; competition is always good.

Hello,

Après avoir lu ton post sur microsoft live, j'ai voulu en savoir plus et voir ce que le site proposait. J'ai été dans google et j'ai tapé "microsoft life" ;-)
Dommage qu'on tombe sur la page turc en premier.

Ciao
Good Karma
