Microsoft: Making purchases not Bing's online focus
PC World | at | by Mike
Microsoft on Monday refuted a post by a prominent blogger that said the company designed the first iteration of Bing specifically to help people find items to purchase online.In a statement through its public relations firm, Microsoft said that while helping people shop online is a major focus of Bing, it is only one of four the company had in mind in June when it released the search engine, a revamped and rebranded version of its Live Search.
"In June's release, we focused on four key areas where people are spending their time when searching," Microsoft said in the e-mailed statement.
