Microsoft has today announced that it will partner with HP to begin distributing it’s Live Search-enabled toolbar on all HP consumer machines that are to be released during 2009, in the US and Canada.

Together with the Toolbar, the search engine of the browser will also be defaulted to Windows Live Search. The Silverlight based toolbar will also feature a range of HP specific buttons including that of the Snapfish system and HP customer support. Microsoft seem very confident with this deal, saying “This is the most significant distribution deal for Live Search that Microsoft has ever done, and we are very pleased to be partnering with HP to help bring Live Search to millions of consumers across North America.”
