Microsoft upped the ante in its search-engine challenge to Google on Thursday by demonstrating new technology that allows a user to search both the Web and a PC's hard drive.
At the annual Microsoft financial analyst meeting, Microsoft Chairman and CEO Steve Ballmer vowed that Microsoft was determined to beat Google in creating the best and most popular search-engine technology.
"There's a lot of Google fascination out there and we share it, and we're going to compete," Ballmer said with characteristic bluster. "We're going to compete very, very hard."
