When a sizable company decides to enter into direct competition with the current leader in the industry, you would think that they would actually try to offer the same product, right? Not when you’re Microsoft. I’ve signed up and tested the Live Cash service from Microsoft and come to the conclusion that Microsoft missed the point completely and didn’t create a competitor to Google, they instead turned their “search engine” into a competitor with companies like Ebates.com and Shopping.com.
