Baidu will replace Bing into the domestic Windows 10 default search engine

Bing Bing has never been a big climate, but as Microsoft's full-fledged search engine, it also has its own outstanding features, and naturally become Windows, IE /Edge browser The default setting.

August 10th news, for media reports, "Baidu will replace Bing, becoming the default search engine for the official upgraded version of Windows 10 in the Chinese market", Baidu today responded to TechWeb Said that the official will not comment on this.

But the domestic media PingWest claims to be exclusively informed from multiple sources that Baidu will replace Bing and become the default search engine for Windows 10!

In other words, whether you use Edge, Internet Explorer, or other places that require web search in Windows 10, the results will be from Baidu.

The news is said to be announced in mid-August, but no specific time has been determined.

Baidu declined to comment on this, and Microsoft did not respond.

In fact, such cooperation seems unbelievable, but it is not too unexpected.

When Windows 10 was officially released in China, Baidu became its official partner, but compared with the previous Tencent and 360 upgrade services, Baidu’s cooperation with Microsoft seems to be only in its home page for Windows. 10 dozens of advertisements, and just to provide the official download link of Windows 10, it is too simple.

Informed sources said that the above is only the first step in the cooperation between the two parties, and the next step is the key point, that is to set Baidu as the default search engine for Windows 10.

This is much more important than the cooperation with Tencent and 360, and it will continue to be repeated in front of users. I don't know how much Baidu has added for this.

For Microsoft, it takes a lot of courage to give such an important search status to competitors, which means “disarming and surrendering” in the market, and it will also cause some problems for the Windows 10 experience. Negative Effects.

For example, Windows 10 built-in Xiaona voice assistant, back-end search and data support, in fact, are derived from Bing's search results, knowledge map, after switching to Baidu, although closer to domestic users, but with Microsoft The combination of technology will not be so smooth, and the user's search history, usage habits, etc. cannot be synchronized through the Microsoft account.

It is worth mentioning that Bing is produced by Microsoft Asia Research Institute based in Beijing, which is undoubtedly a big blow.

The report said that Baidu and Microsoft and strategic cooperation are divided into two phases: Baidu will work with 360 and Tencent to provide Windows 10 update downloads; Windows 10 browser Bing interface will be in the near future. Replaced by default with Baidu.
In addition, TechWeb also contacted the person in charge of Microsoft Bing, the other responded that there is no exact news yet!
