MSN Search China Goes Beta
|
Microsoft launched this week the beta of its Chinese search engine, offering desktop and Web page searches. The move comes at a time when Microsoft Research Asia is in ongoing discussions with Yahoo Research about enhancing their respective search capabilities to better compete with Google. Baidu.com, in which Google owns a 2.6 percent stake, is currently the largest Chinese search engine. Microsoft launched MSN China in May of last year, a joint venture between MSN and Shanghai Alliance Investment Ltd. |

Please forward my condemnation of microsoft's blocking free internet access to pc users in mainland china who offend that government. Let Microsoft know that they have no moral excuse for this activity, simply because of their greed to do business with the most populous country in the world. In the 30's we had examples of German capitalists who vied for Nazi business. Do the leaders of Microsoft read history?John J. Wiley
