Expedia began in 1996 as a division of Microsoft, was spun out in 1999, and passed through Barry Diller's IAC before becoming independent again in 2005. It owns most of the American online travel brands that appear to compete with each other, which is why comparing Expedia against Hotels.com and Orbitz compares three products from one company.
