Oh wow! A dinosaur software company and a maker of decent phones that has now fallen behind the iPhone.

I notice the layout of Live Search keeps getting better. I also prefer MSFT Virtual Earth to Google Maps.

Live search is also good . Live image and news search are really good as compare to Google search
We have to wait for some time see what microsoft has for search and internet . Google is pioneer in search market and we can't expect that microsoft will beat them in one or two years like other companies are not able to caputre the market of IE, office and operating system that is being a key area for Microsoft

BOO! Let us use our own search engine. Live is just not that good. The only time is worth using is when buying something (to get a discount) or when looking for knowledge base article on Microsoft.

Well, it does make sense, though RIM and WindowsMobile are competitors.

I just hope RIM doesn't suffer the same fate that MSFT's partners usually do (see also PlaysForSure).
