Microsoft contracted to digitize library in 2008
A year from now, 100,000 books from Yale’s libraries will be available online. Just don’t try to search for them on Google.

Boo!!! This is dumb to go with Google over Microsoft as Google clearly has more expertise in this area. Obviously the decision was based on money and not the best way to digitize the library collection.

Microsoft will inevitably make sure that the book searching and reading works best on computers running Windows. This is both unfair to students who don't use Windows, it is foolish given that Microsoft's marketshare at Yale is in pretty obvious decline.
boo--should've been google!
