The
last six months has seen Microsoft try a number of innovative ways to close the
gap on Google in the search engine market, from deepening its integration with
Facebook to extending Bing to new platforms such as the Xbox 360 and investing
in its webmaster tools program. This latest partnership helps it make further
inroads – providing access to a market that currently has 450 million
internet users, where Google is weak. Bing now has around 30 per cent of the
North American market and this agreement will increase market share outside
core territories as well as providing greater ad revenues from search results. While
this isn’t a killer blow for Google, it is a statement of how seriously
Microsoft is about growing its search market share both in China and across the
globe.

Profits trumps principles once again. Through its facilitation of the fascist regime in China- censoring information such as the cover-up of SARS and other epidemics, allowing the regime to access users’ hotmail accounts, providing technology that supports the control and subjugation of people, offering a respectable face to a state that shows open contempt for human rights- Microsoft once again demonstrates that it would have used the same excuses it uses today to justify its partnership with the Nazis. It is absolutely disgusting that another American company is willing to spit on its’ country’s values to make a fast buck in the here-and-now.
