This is a good start for Microsoft to gain advertisers but I think they need to go farther and actually just pay people to use Live search.  No matter how cheap or how much cash back you give on a product you still need to have someone searching for it and that is what Google really does have (and if you look at the numbers Yahoo! has much less of, maybe 1/10th).  If Microsoft paid me to use Live search I might actually use it… who knows I might even like it.  However until they do that I am sticking to Google because right now I have no reason to leave.
