Both The Wall Street Journal, which puts on the conference, and the All Things Digital blog (both entities owned by News Corp.) are citing unnamed sources saying Kumo will make its official public debut at the conference.

According to March numbers from Nielsen Online, Microsoft had 10.3 percent of the U.S. search market, as compared to 15.8 percent for Yahoo and 64.2 percent for Google.
