Bing - Decision Engine

Apparently having the vast majority of the world's operating system and Internet browser market wasn't enough for Microsoft. Now they've set their sights on Google by designing a next-generation search engine with the express goal of unseating the mediagenic king of Internet searches.

'Bing' is the new search engine's final name, and Microsoft has put 80-100 million dollars into Bing's ad campaign to make sure that everyone knows it.

Unveiled by Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer on May 28, 2009 at the All Things Digital conference in San Diego, Bing is a replacement for Live Search.

Bing (formerly Live Search, Windows Live Search and MSN Search) is a decision engine.

Bing also provides the following search offerings:

• Health
• Images
• Local
• Maps
• News
• Shopping
• Translator
• Travel
• Videos
• xRank
