Default MSN Search dropped the BETA tag

It's official: no more "BETA" label for MSN Search from here. New home page look too @ msn.com.

Their new banner ads are all over the place today, weather.com, etc. Hope their new engine can handle the spike of a SuperBowl commercial. Wonder if Google will be forced to pony up for a real advertising budget after the MS media onslaught?

Bill wants search bad. Nothing left to do but throw his money at promoting it:

Quote:
To show consumers how quickly and easily they can find precise answers with MSN Search, MSN is promoting the global launch of the new service with a widespread marketing campaign that includes a mix of grassroots promotions and broad-reach advertising. The campaign is expected to reach at least 90 percent of consumers in the United States and several hundred million other consumers globally.

Bill only likes to be the biggest, not always the best just the biggest. I would think that msn will take some major market share this year.

Is this a coincidence? I hardly think so!

I'm pretty sure Google knows they're in for a fight.

BTW, I'm still seeing this URL, http://beta.search.msn.com/, for the MSN search.

I didn't see it. I'm sure it's only the beginning.
