Microsoft plans to relaunch its Windows Live Search next year, if you believe the buzz in the blogosphere, and its new name might be Kumo, reports LiveSide.
It was one of the possible names ZDNet’s Mary Jo Foley reported in August that were floating around. LiveSide’s reporting that Microsoft has taken control of that domain name, a Japanese word that means “cloud” or “spider.” Access has been restricted to the site since LiveSide pointed readers there.
According to an unnamed source on TechCrunch, a final decision on the name has not been made.
But along with hiring search talent from Yahoo, it’s further evidence that Microsoft is beefing up its search offerings even without the acquisition.
