I watched Wolfram Start and was impressed with what it could do but it is not a mainstream search engine but it is handy for certain things.. and blended with a major search provider, such as MS, it's all good!
I'm kind of surprised MS got it as I'd be surprised if google didn't try.. but I suspect they (google) went to Wolfram with a bag of money and said, can we buy your idea please? And Stephen said 'no'.. whereas MS is far more likely to get into bed with a partner.. google doesn't appear to as much..
And I don't actually like/trust google.. so I'm all for their current dominance being reduced..
