Microsoft Attacks Google On Books

When in doubt try, try again. Microsoft attempted to combat Google on their own turf when they launched their own half-assed sub par sad unfortunate version of a search engine. Take a moment to ask yourself how often you search on Microsoft’s engine and then how often you use Google’s.

Yeah, I thought as much.

Well, now the legions of Ballmer are going after Google from a flanking position.

Microsoft is to launch an attack on Google, saying the search giant’s rival book-scanning service “systematically violates copyright”.

Since December, Microsoft’s project - Live Search Books - has allowed users to access certain publications which were no longer under copyright.

However, Google allows snippets of copyrighted works to be seen on the web on its Google Books Search.

Can’t we all just get along?
