Microsoft fall on the Googles line on book search

Filed under:

The war between Microsoft and Google has reached a new high with the decision of the former to start online book search. The decision came after Google launched an online book search in eight European countries. Microsoft has named the new service as MSN Book Search. The company sources said that the service will go online from early next year.

Earlier the company gave its final consent to join the Open Content Alliance (OCA) group. The group is working to digitalise the contents of millions of books and put them on the internet. This content can be accessed by anyone. Along with MSN, Yahoo and several universities also joined in this mission of OCA.
