Microsoft Loses About 5% Search Share in 2 Years

| Also, not helping? Their search technology pretty much sucks. While
| it's nice to blame the brand change for the loss in market-share, it
| really comes down to the quality of the search results. Apart from
| their image search, I've never found Microsoft's search technology -
| btw, even I don't know whether to call it MSN, Windows Live,
| Live Search, Windows Search - to be of any great value.
|
| BTW, something else curious from the BW piece...
|
| Steve Berkowitz, who was hired last May to rev up the Web
| business as senior vice-president for Microsoft's Online
| Services Group, declined to comment.
|
| Declined to comment? Business Week runs an article on your search
| efforts, and the guy in charge refuses to talk about it? Maybe they
| need to keep on shuffling the executive deck of cards, until they
| find someone with enough, you know what, to face the music and tell
| us what's going on, and what they're doing to right the ship.
