BANGALORE: Microsoft today launched the beta version of its Windows Live Search service. It also launched a new search homepage, www.live.com, in the Asia Pacific region. The new site has a new user-interface that includes tools designed to place the user in control and help people simply find what they need, from anywhere. This service will be made available in the Windows Live services that will be launched over the coming year. "Outside of email, search is the most popular online activity in Asia. It's become a ubiquitous part of the web and yet there is still huge potential in terms of what it can deliver for Asia's netizens. These services are core to our strategy and we believe that the innovations unveiled today deliver an outstanding level of power and simplicity to search." Alex Stewart, regional director for Microsoft's MSN and Windows Live business in Asia Pacific said.
