Bing is coming?

    Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has officially announced that the company is ready to spend more than one billion dollars on the development of the Internet. In particular, the representative of small-scale ones in his statement made a bias towards the development of Internet search, in which the company is ready to invest up to 10% of its annual income. And Microsoft's (official) revenue for 2008 alone was about 22 billion. Dollars naturally. To the questions of journalists - and, in fact, where will such amounts go? - Ballmer smiled politely and walked away from the topic. But, most likely, the main capital will go to the development and promotion of the search engine Bing, which Microsoft launched in June this year. It is now known that about $ 100 million has already been allocated for Bing promotions.
    Steve Ballmer also modestly said that Microsoft has set a goal - to increase its share in Internet search to 80% in a few years. And this is a serious application for a monopoly. This means that the great and terrible Google has a worthy competitor. And not just a competitor, but, most likely, a future successor.
    But is it really possible to move Google now?
