Windows 8 introduces smart search with adds

Postby viking60 » 04 Jul 2013, 12:09

ImageWindows 8 will introduce smart search that can search locally and the internet at the same time - like Gnome 3 has had for some time.

Local files Wikipedia and the Bing search engine will give the results.

Unlike Gnome 3; Microsoft will monetize this feature through Bing adds.

Paying customers for adds on Bing and Yahoo will be eligible to be shown without additional setup.

There is no information regarding if you will be able to turn off the adds.
Manjaro 64bit on the main box -Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz and nVidia Corporation GT200b [GeForce GTX 275] (rev a1. + Centos on the server - Arch on the laptop.
