"One of the number one things we're trying to do with Bing
is to help people go from intent to task as soon as
possible," said Parri Munsell, executive producer for
Microsoft's Interactive Entertainment Business Group.
"People come to Internet search engines with an intended
task - to learn about something, play something, watch
something, or do something. In entertainment, it becomes
very easy to connect these scenarios together."
