Default Bing dot com

Anybody here using the new search engine, bing.com?

BTW: It's a MS product.

http://www.bing.com/

After viewing the intro, do a search for search engines, notice anything biased?

Are the results really all that surprising? The question is, when you run the same search through yahoo and google, etc. do you achieve similar results?

Bing will go back into it's hole after MS's $200 MILLION dollar PR Campaign for it. Just like their last lame search engine.
Google is fine. MS keeps trying to reinvent the wheel. (Same with their lame ass looking 'Windows 7' which, um, looks exactly like Vista.) How about they start from scratch? A NEW OS design. Something totally new. No 'start' in the bottom left. I dunno, just seems like they are scrambling with no vision, While other Companies like Google and others are working very hard on their upcoming new OS's..

Mark my words. in 10 years, MS will be history, and an OS of another kind will have the market.
Personally, I like XP. I will not upgrade or pay them $300 to upgrade to some shit OS that won't play XP software. They've done this how many times now? We're not idiots anymore. The masses have caught on to MS's greed, and not adding backwards support when the damn OS is built off the XP/NT kernel.

What I'm saying if Vista is so crappy (IMO it is), and I know many companies that will NOT upgrade to it, as their in-house software and SAP doesn't like it, so WHY make Windows 7 look just like Vista? If I was MS, I'd move as far away from that IP as possible--and make the OS look as different as Vista as possible.

It's gonna be an interesting next few years. Never thought GM would be owned by the Government, Hey... MS could disappear in a few years easy.

PS: Never used Bing, so I dunno what ya mean.. Bing... yuk. sounds too much like bung. as in 'hole'. Is that where MS's searches are going?

Perhaps then MS should go back to XP and make some genuine improvements, and hmmmm... nah, it'll never happen, and they'd probably charge excessively for it.

Vista works fine for me, minus a few games. XP, I had zero issues with. But the way MS runs customer relations really kinda sucks.

There's a fairly large electrical retailer here in Oz called Bing Lee - when I first spotted this MS thingie I thought it might be a search engine for toasters
