The U.S. Division of Justice is expanding its critique with the pending Microsoft-Yahoo lookup partnership the pair unveiled this summer.The DOJ has requested much more information from both organizations, according to many reports. Microsoft isn;t commenting on the specifics of what the DOJ is requesting. But a Bloomberg tale, citing “a person familiar with all the matter,
Office 2010 64bit,” said the pair are likely to be asked about their search-engine investments,
Microsoft Office 2010 64bits, ad pricing and product plans.(I;ve asked Microsoft officials whether there are any a lot more specifics on the DOJ investigation to share but have yet to hear back.)Microsoft and Yahoo agreed to a complex partnership in July,
Office Standard 2010 X64, via which Microsoft would provide much (but not all) with the lookup technology to Yahoo for use within its a number of online properties and Yahoo would sell the Microsoft-Yahoo search and advertising platform to advertisers. The goal with the proposed partnership is to create a far more formidable No. 2 player in the search market by combining the development and sales forces with the current No. 2 (Yahoo) and distant No. 3 (Microsoft).In July, according to comScore,
Office Professional Plus 2010 32 Bit, Bing had 8.9 percent share of the U.S. lookup market and Yahoo had 19.3 percent. Google had 64.7 percent.Microsoft is expected to be launching an update to its Bing lookup engine,
Office 2010 Pro 32 Bit, known tentatively as “Bing 2.0″ before the end of this month — and possibly as early as next week
