Microsoft's Bing search engine is getting a little help from a very smart friend. Wolfram Alpha and Bing have reached a licensing deal that allows Bing to present some of the specialized scientific and computational content that Wolfram Alpha generates, according to a source familiar with the deal. The deal was reported earlier by TechCrunch. |

This is largely a publicity stunt. Much like Google Wave was. Nothing major will ever come of this. Actually, I take that back. Google and Microsoft are clearly drawing up some battle lines . I don't really think Wolfram Alpha will bring anything significant to Bing, but the innovation that will occur in the years to come as a result of this Microsoft-Google war is very exciting.
