Gates terms competition with Google "fun"

Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft Corporation, which recently launched its own search platform today described its competition with Google as "fun competition".

Software giant Microsoft recently launched its own search engine --Bing-- to take on the rival Google but at the same time he complimented them saying "Google has done a great work."

Microsoft has been trying to make its presence felt on the search space and take on Google, the leader in the space.

When asked about the future of search, Gates said  on a humorous note "The future of search is Bing...."

Talking at a Nasscom event, Gates said, "In next 1-3 years search should be dramatically better. Microsoft has hired some great people to do innovative work to make it more competitive.

"When you are a distant two, you have to try harder. Who knows we can make it better and faster than anybody else."
