Microsoft To Show Off New Kumo Search Next Week
Microsoft is going to show off a new version of its Internet search engine publicly for the first time next week
Microsoft will rebrand and relaunch its Windows Live Search to Kumo early 2009. Is Microsoft hinting at more cloud computing as Kumo is a Japanese word for “cloud” or “spider”? Microsoft is trying to play catch up with Google and Yahoo search engines.
Microsoft has recently announced Windows Live with its “next generation unified experience” features by adding a set of new social networking tools and services to its cloud-based software suite.
