Who uses MS Live Search?
section: microsoft, for your questions: KezNews forum, 3.4.2008
". . . it’s mostly people that are searching for files on their own hard drive who accidentally click the ’search the net’ button."
If that theory is correct almost all Live Search sessions would come from Windows systems running IE. Sure enough, they found that an overwhelming 99.82% of all Live Search sessions are Windows machines running IE.
A 90% market share is good for something. It kept the Live Search market at 2.4% last month. IE’s market share is 75%. If Firefox, 18% market share, users were just as likely to use Live Search as any other search engine, you’d expect to see 18% of Live Searches on that browser.
Search is THE problem as storage capacities grow. Microsoft’s weak showing means they aren’t going to beat Google at the current game. MS needs to put it’s substantial muscle finding the Next Big Thing in search. It also suggests that taking over Yahoo won’t help either; they haven’t had any better luck against Google, either!

i doubt thats correct
also many people use it just because they dont use search
engines that much so they cant really tell the difference between the quality of results
etc.
also different cultures have different preferences. this can be observed in why
some cities all have myspace accounts where others are all facebook.
sometime i ever used ms live search to search something like a s..ex..ual content but
they prohibited it. since that i have always use google.
i only use google, it's the only one that works well
