 REDMOND, Wash. (AP) - Two years after conceding his company erred in failing to develop its own search engine, Microsoft Corp. Chief Executive Steve Ballmer boasted Thursday of progress in fighting industry leaders Google Inc. and Yahoo Inc.
Microsoft has, in a relatively short time, advanced in two key areas by creating its own search engine and online advertising platform.
But the software maker still has plenty of work to do — and Ballmer admits that he'd have preferred to have gotten started sooner.
