Microsoft throwing its weight behind Web search:
"But analysts have interpreted the decision to build as a sign that Microsoft has greater ambitions for search, including plans to make it part of the Windows operating system, the company's main cash cow.
'Any time Microsoft builds something into the operating system, they don't want to get that from anyone else,' said analyst Matt Rosoff of Directions on Microsoft, an independent research group based in Kirkland, Washington.
Moreover, they said Microsoft's real motive is to build search into its various software products and most likely into the next Windows version, which is code-named Longhorn."
