Microsoft Academic Search vs. Google Scholar

You've read Dean Giustini's critique of Microsoft's Academic Search, and you are looking for more information. Well you are in luck.

It is important to know that Academic Search is still beta testing so it only contains information from computer science, electrical engineering and physics. Medicine will be added later.

MS Academic Search doesn't indexing biomedical journals...
Unfortunately my original post got mangled when it was published and it chopped off the last half of the post where I mentioned that Academic Search does not yet cover medicine.
I have since recovered the entry and reposted it.
Thank you.
