Windows Drops Bing in China for Baidu

Because Google won't pay Microsoft for it, won't partner with Microsoft, etc. Baidu is not a total competitor to Microsoft the way Google is.

Where do you get that impression? They pay Mozilla, Apple, and several other companies royalties for referrals to their search engine.

Mozilla and Apple don't make Internet search engine (although some speculates Apple is making a rivalry search engine). They integrate with the Internet search engines out there.

MS didn't make search engine, either. They decided to make one anyway.

I am not following. You said they didn't make one, but they made one anyway? So they made one or not?

MS made their search engine in 1999, only two years after Google.
