Did Microsoft Waste $100m on Powerset?

• Microsoft recently acquired natural language search engine Powerset.
• We ran into their founder the other night, and he seemed to not have any exciting news about how Microsoft planned to integrate the technology.
• Well, today LiveSearch has integrated relative Wikipedia links into their results via Powerset technology. Boring.
• What crazy things will they be up to next?

Powerset is great technology, but is Microsoft the right company to own it?
