And the reason for the growth is that Microsoft paid people to use their search. Ha ha ha.
Also, the company recently introduced several online games that shamelessly bribe people to query its useless Live Search Engine, and according to web research firm comScore, these games gave the engine a significant traffic boost.
Microsoft has been dishonest and that is no surprise because they have been dishonest from day one.
People google they don't live when it comes to searching.
Microsoft lost to Google. Simple.
"Microsoft lost to Google."
Absolutely hilarious. You seem to be under the impression that the web services war (like search, mapping, etc.) is in anything but the very first DAYS of a DECADES-LONG war.
It's like saying iPod has won the media device war. Nothing of the sort. Of the media device market share, iPod probably has about a ~5% market share, Zune, Creative, others have another couple percent. The other 90% or so is still up for grabs as the market expands quicky from its infancy. Apple has no lock on that 90%, even though they feel unbeatable in the tiny slice of folks that have bought already.
These battles are LONG, and they won't look ike they do now in a few years. In fact, I think odds are against Google being much more of a name than "InfoSeek" or "Lycos" in 10 years. Not because I'm anti-Google, that's just how it goes. Or they'll manage to hang on like Ask. It's a long shot that they'll be in the same position even five years from now, that's easy to see if you've watched the industry long enough.
Simple.

(5 Comments)change? Performance measurement usually developed by
standards. Compliance and "measurement" usually done after the
standards accepted and implemented for some time. To evaluate
prior data based on newly developed standards are commonly
meaningless... (what I know... a hardware never understand the
software "measurement methodology"... sound very iffy to me).
