Microsoft Corp. (MSFT) Chairman Bill Gates wants to spread some of the wealth from Internet advertising.
“When you use a search engine, if somebody is making lot of money from advertisers they ought to share it with you,’’ Gates said in an interview on the business news channel NDTV Profit.
In a swipe at Google Inc. (GOOG), the world’s most-used Internet search engine, Gates said Microsoft’s search products may eventually give users software programs or even cash after they click on an advertisement.
Microsoft, the world’s biggest software maker, is adding programs to its search offering, including Windows Live, which links desktop programs more closely to the Internet. Gates wants the company to bolster its 11 percent share of the global search market and to win the ad dollars that come with more users.
The Redmond, Washington-based Microsoft said it will introduce a new search engine for local businesses that displays satellite images, including building fronts. Gates said Microsoft will have the superior product soon.
“There will be in a sense of competition as we make our search engine better than theirs and we’re willing to be more generous to customers,’’ Gates said in the interview. “Things keep changing. Their model is not going to hold up.’’
Yes Bill. You can start buy giving some money back to those that buy your software licenses.....cheeky get.
