Bing! Netbooks! Windows 7!

Filed under: General — spiro @ 7:31 pm

A couple of announcements this week from Microsoft!

Bing!!!!!!

Bing is our new search engine and will go live June third. Of course, it’s live since monday within the company, I’ve been using it and it’s really really good! You guys are in for a treat! I’ve attended several presentations from the team and they are really committed to being leaders in the search space. The Bing team is also holding a webcast to present the new features on June 10.

Netbooks

In other news, it appears that Microsoft decided to lift the infamous 3-app restriction on Starter editions of Windows 7 and market it worldwide, as opposed to just emerging markets. Netbooks are so going to rock with Windows 7!

Disclaimer: You’re not getting any privileged info here, this stuff’s all public. The only way to do that is of course beer, and lots of it, thanks to my French Canadian heritage… (and by beer, I don’t mean piss)
