02.32.2005 - With Microsoft’s Education Products Group, Reliable Information Is the First Step to Academic Success

REDMOND, WASH., Feb. 1, 2005 -- As the growth in popularity and power of search engines continues to skyrocket, Microsoft recognizes that in addition to faster, simpler and more organized ways to search, consumers - students in particular - need precise and credible information. In fact, nine out of 10 children between age 5 and 17 in the U.S. use computers, and even higher numbers of online teenagers use the Internet for school-related work (National Education Technology Plan, 2005). While the Internet has transformed the process of research by making information readily available, MSN Search aims to help consumers find precisely what they are looking for in less time by including the trusted content of Microsoft Encarta Premium. - View Press Release - Visit Microsoft Corporation
