Microsoft has finally raised curtains on Bing, it’s latest attempt to make a mark on search market. Microsoft will make an official release on June 3 and from the screenshots, it appears pretty vibrant with a slideshow of interesting photographs that run in the background. Microsoft calls Bing/Kumo or Kiev, the name designated to its current release is more of a decision engine that assists people, though I don’t quite see the reason how it makes Bing different from Google, or Yahoo, etc. However the release tries to explain how it can be different. Lets say you perform a search, Bing would provide you results based on best match, better links, a preview window that would expand as you hover past a result, so that you don’t have to waste a click to discover it isn’t exactly what you were looking for. I am not sure where Bing ends up in the search market, but for the time being lets just give Microsoft a thumbs up for spending a $100 million at this latest initiative.
