Microsoft seems to be on the roll (or should I say 'on the bing') With the smooth loading bing and now the open API, Microsoft seems to be taking the battle straight to Yahoo and Google's court. This time Microsoft does seem to 'get' the future of search, and with Bartz screwing up the Yahoo open API program (with usage quotas and all) and Google just plan scared of releasing its own, the folks at Redmond seem poised for the next big leap in search. I am not really a Microsoft fan, and use tons of great Google products, but search needs to move ahead, much faster than what Google is taking it.
