For a whopping $44.6 billion. Wow.

I guess they're serious about competing with Google? :P

Heh, we were working with Microsoft contractors (still are, in fact). We asked them some questions about Microsoft products, and MSN Live Search kept turning up crap results. So they switched to google, and suddenly they started getting good results. He thought it was funny, "we aren't supposed to use Google, but at least it gives us proper answers!"
