Microsoft starts serving IE8 upgrade to enterprises

,----[ Quote ]
| As promised more than a month ago, Microsoft Corp. yesterday began pushing 
| Internet Explorer 8 to enterprises via Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). 
| 
| The IE8 upgrade for Windows XP, Vista, Server 2003 and Server 2008 was cast 
| as an "Update rollup" to WSUS, Microsoft's most popular tool for deploying 
| patches within businesses.

When It Comes To Search, Bundling Bing In IE Barely Gives It An Advantage

,----[ Quote ]
| Back in the 1990s during the original browser wars between Netscape and 
| Internet Explorer, one of Microsoftâs chief weapons was the ability to bundle 
| IE into Windows as the default browser. With bundling came market share, or 
| so the government argued in its antitrust case against Redmond.   
| 
| Fast forward to todayâs search wars. Youâd think that bundling a search 
| engine into a browser would have some impact on market share. But some new 
| data provided by search advertising network Chitika suggests that at least 
| for Bing, being bundled with IE isnât doing it much good.

Bundling Won't Help Microsoft Bing Versus Google

,----[ Quote ]
| Search is a different animal. Microsoft never successfully bundled search 
| with IE because, well, Microsoft search pre-Bing was so inferior to Google.
