BBC reports People are underestimating what Microsoft is doing with search technology, says Bill Gates. The head of the software giant told the BBC that its ambition is to be bigger than Google in search.
Good luck, but MSN was supposed to kill AoL, and while AoL is less than it used to be, it is still bigger than MSN.He said that competition had ultimately been good for web users because it had pushed search technology. This meant search would be "far better" in a year. The next decade looks even better, he said, with a lot more advances in software technology ahead. "The beauty of software is that we are always making breakthroughs. We will have more in the next 10 years than we have had on the last 30," he said in an exclusive BBC interview. Mr Gates said he saw Microsoft's strengths lying in search, but also in its software that provides the glue to make different devices talk to each other so that people can have more power over their content.
