Microsoft's search ambitions are its Vietnam
The simple answer is no. Microsoft has Google envy? Since when? Google has been in constant decline for a couple of years now. Microsoft on the other hand has been growing. Their interest in search is to diversify the company's offerings and provide a better search engine than their competitors. I don't see why introducing a new and improved service is a bad idea.
