The opportunity to work in the online space for a company like Microsoft, with its vision, capabilities and global reach, is truly exciting.

This is an industry in its early years, with so much opportunity and so much yet to be figured out. Microsoft has a team of some of the world’s greatest technologists and business leaders who are committed to pushing the boundaries of what is currently thought to be possible.

I look forward to working for Microsoft and with the many talented people there who have the ability to be a force for change to continue to shape this still nascent industry.

I think it's a great win for Microsoft. Steve knows what it's like to be an underdog in the search space and fight your way back onto the radar screen. Danny Sullivan

This is a huge win for MSN...paidContent  

What he did well at Ask.com is exactly what he needs to do at Microsoft -- come from behind and take on the big guys at Google and Yahoo. The big difference -- he'll have a MUCH bigger budget and talent pool at his disposal!  Charlene Li
