Ballmer: We'll Catch Google In Relevancy In 6 Months

Ballmer: We'll Catch Google In Relevancy In 6 Months: "Ballmer: We'll Catch Google In Relevancy In 6 Months

We've had Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer make jabs at Google before. However, ZDNet Australia article Google in sight as Ballmer vows .NET push reports a new spin, that 'in the next six months, we'll catch Google in terms of relevancy,' Ballmer said.
It will be interesting to see how this will be proved in six month's time.

As Danny points out here, trying to determine search relevancy is a difficult thing to do.

That said, if you look at the results from Barry's unscientific but very interesting survey, the difference in relevancy between Google, Yahoo, Ask Jeeves, and MSN Search is already very small. "

I'm not using MSN that much; it's a habit. If MSN starts to show itself to be a better experience for me- I'll start using it more.
