Leaving So Soon?
Microsoft has been trying to become the Google of Web search, first with MSN
search and now with Windows Live Search, which, last time I checked (two minutes

did have a
cool
first result.
Meanwhile, Google returns a more gratifying 17,100 pages.
So is it any surprise that Christopher Payne, the Microsoft exec leading the
Microsoft search charge, is moving
on to greener pastures?
Here's more insight into
Redmond's search troubles from BusinessWeek.
