Search Banter

It sounds like Chris Payne, corporate vice president of Windows Live Search (formerly known as MSN search), is going to leave Microsoft and start up his own business. I don’t know whether his new business will be in the same industry or not. Regardless, this appears to be another huge blow to Microsoft in the search engine industry. They were already on a downward trend in search engine market share and I don’t think this is going to help much. It’s hard to beleive that Microsoft, a corporation which has virtually monopolized the computer industry, is suffering badly in an area you would expect them to dominate in. It will be interesting to see what happens here.
