Adopt Microsoft Live Search and get Microsoft Freebies

But.. Wait.. before you uninstall that Google toolbar! Read further ;)

Its currently a Microsoft soap only for bigger enterprises. Per Computer enterprises are standing to gain anything between $2-$10 annually. They are terming it as “Service Credit”. This accumulated amount can be spent towards availing Products and Training from Microsoft.

They have already struck a deal with Lenovo. More are said to be in pipeline.

There is still no comparison on the quality of Google and Live! Search. Google is miles ahead and I must say that Live! Search is catching up. In the meantime, I can’t think of a day when the enterprise Websense blocks the beloved Google start page!

I have my own reasons to suspect the success of this Microsoft Campaign. The first and foremost being - “Google is much ahead of Microsoft in Enterprise-Search services and appliances”. Secondly - ” Googling is seen as a personal action and even any organizational persuasion to change that habit may not find many takers”.
