Despite the announcement of its takeover bid for Yahoo, senior Microsoft executives exhorted employees in an internal Webcast last Friday to continue to push forward aggressively toward already-defined goals in the areas of search and online services.
That includes work on the next major release of Microsoft's Live Search engine ? codenamed "Rome" ? which is scheduled for launch this spring, according to a transcript of the Webcast filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. It also includes what execs term "Wave 3" of Microsoft's Live-branded online services.
