Alexa & A9 Drop Google for Windows Live Search

Garrett French reports that both Alexa Amazon's A9 have switched from being powered by Google Search to Microsoft's Windows Live Search. When did this exactly happen? We are not sure. But it must have been recent. Why has there not been a lot of press on this? Again, I am not sure.
