Microsoft to discard clip art from Office products

Washington: Microsoft has announced its decision to pull the plug on the last trace of clip art in its Office products, a report said.

The company will now guide its users, in need of imagery, towards Bing Image Search because they are already getting their images online anyway, reported Tech Crunch.

Bing images won't be vector art and hence, not as resizable as its predecessor but will give users a whole range of options. The search engine built inside Office is the same as the one that's built into its standard search engine, just with Creative Commons filters switched on by default to allow commercial use.
