Microsoft launches new Bing search engine

Steve Ballmer, Microsoft's chief executive, has unveiled Bing, a new online search tool that he hopes will rival Google.

I suppose 'Bing', will be more successful than the company's two most recent incarnations: Live Search and MSN Search. Live Search is my Home page, I love the different picture it has each day.

Is this the post Yahoo Search strategy?

A few search facts for 2009:
-Google was used for 64.2 per cent of queries, and Yahoo's share totaled 20.4 per cent.
-Google's sales - $4.7 billion in the first quarter - are tied to its search dominance
