Microsoft Rewards Search -- but only with Internet Explorer
PC World | at | by Mike
As a sign of how desperate Microsoft is to draw U.S. Internet users to its Live Search site and away from rival Google, the company is now offering frequent flyer miles to frequent searchers -- but only if they surf with Internet Explorer: Users of Firefox, Chrome or Safari are out of luck.
Frequent flyer miles with companies including American Airlines, Delta and US Airways are just some of the perks Microsoft is offering in a new reward program called SearchPerks. The company desperately needs to attract eyeballs to its search sites, as it is continuing to lose market share to Google.
