Microsoft changed its name to the department, and it came back to life recently!
2020 China's search engine market share rankings, as of the latest August 2020!
As one of the three domestic search giants, the 360 search market is a bit unable to keep up, and Toutiao search has just entered the industry and remains to be seen.
In general, the domestic search Sogou search has developed rapidly in recent years. The PC search is currently still dominated by Baidu search, and the mobile search Shenma search controls part of the traffic!
The top six global search engine market share rankings are: Google, Bing, Yahoo, Baidu, YANDEX, DuckDuckGo.
It can be seen that the Bing search engine still has a certain share!
Compared with Google search, Bing search should not be known or used by many people. Bing search is a web search engine service launched by Microsoft in 2009. Its English name is Bing, which is second only to Google abroad. The second largest search engine for search.

However, starting recently, the official name of Bing will be changed from Bing to Microsoft Bing.
On the 6th, according to The Verge report, Microsoft today changed its search engine Bing to Microsoft Bing as part of its rebranding efforts. Microsoft did not elaborate on why it added the company's name to the Bing brand.
According to Microsoft, the name change is to reflect the continued integration of its search experience across the entire Microsoft family. Bing now provides support for Edge's InPrivate search, quick search in the Windows taskbar, Microsoft 365 job search scenarios, and immersive games in Microsoft Flight Simulator.
Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, Microsoft Bing's revenue growth has slowed. Last quarter, search advertising revenue, excluding traffic acquisition costs, decreased by 18% (a decrease of 17% in constant currency), or $353 million, which means that Microsoft’s Bing quarterly revenue was approximately $1.608 billion, and the size of the Surface division almost.
Microsoft has too many operations to change its name
A few years ago, Microsoft released a project called "GVFS", which is a Git virtual file system. The full name is Git Virtual File System. GVFS is its acronym. However, this name has caused a huge controversy, because it conflicts with the virtual file system GVfs of the GNOME project, which not only causes confusion when searching for information, but also seriously affects the SEO of the latter. The final result was that Microsoft chose to compromise under various pressures and changed the name of the "GVFS" project to "VFS For Git".
Just the most recent time, one of Microsoft's xamarin cross-platform frameworks (xamarin forms, xamarin ios, xamarin Android) was unified into MAUI.
MAUI (.NET Multi-platform App UI), this project aims to provide a cross-platform native UI in a single code base. The goal is to hope that .NET MAUI will become a part of .NET 6 and an evolution of Xamarin Forms.
Therefore, it can be considered that Microsoft renamed Xamarin Forms to MAUI.
One more thing, Xamarin was called mono before!
The KDE community also has a project called "Maui" that has been created for two years. This Maui also happens to be a UI framework for building cross-platform applications. The KDE community was very dissatisfied with the .NET MAUI project after Microsoft's renaming, because the two not only conflicted in name, but also were similar components.
So this open source project hosted by KDE quickly issued an official statement, criticizing Microsoft's decision and calling on Microsoft to modify the name of the .NET MAUI project.
Members of the Maui team also went to the .NET MAUI GitHub repository to issue an issue request to change the name. Microsoft employee David Ortinau just commented under the issue that this name is the acronym for .NET Multi-platform App UI and passed legal review. So the issue was closed.
After receiving too many insulting comments, he opened this issue again and set it to a locked state.
In addition, there are many renamed Sao operations:
Windows Phone→Windows 10 Mobile
Lync→Skype for Business
Hotmail → http: // Outlook.com→Outlook Mail
Bing app→MSN app
Windows Azure→Microsoft Azure
Office Web Apps→Office Online
As for the term "Microsoft Renamed Department", it is actually an old stalk!
The arbitrariness and volatility of Microsoft's architecture and product planning is just like when a company leader comes up, he always overthrows all the work of his predecessor and then rebuilds it. This is evident in the internal and social resources consumed.
This major structural change of Microsoft originated from product planning, and the name had to be changed, and the name change department of Microsoft gradually became famous!
But then again, if Microsoft changes its name, will the 2.8% of domestic users notice the change?
