Today, the Andhra Pradesh govt told Microsoft India will be setting up a Centre of Excellence in Visakhapatnam as part of its digital inclusion drive in the state, besides sharpening focus on increasing productivity. Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella had a breakfast meeting & is currently on a visit to Hyderabad today.
It's no secret Microsoft wants in on the search market. Bing launched the website Scroogled.com as a direct attack but understanding the why of Bing taking more shots at Google is not hard, it's all about market share.

Of course, this means fewer products show up in overall search results, but the impact doesn't just stop there.
