For more than six months, a team at Microsoft has been working on its own search engine/-directory, code-named Yukon. The company should have a beta version up by October, with a launch date of January. Yukon will most probably be released directly on the Web, not on MSN, the company's members-only Net service meant to compete with AOL.
