Micosoft Now Paying Businesses to Use “Live Search”

Microsoft is reportedly paying large business customers to use “Live Search” as their preferred search engine. Of course the use of Internet Explorer 7 is required for participation in the program.
Using the “all’s fair in love and search engine wars” they will pay-out $2 to $10 per PC annually, plus a $25,000 “enrollment credit” for starting the program. For large organizations, this could add up to a measureable impact on the IT budget: Microsoft presented examples of “Company A” and “Company B” earning between $100,000 and $200,000 per year.
