    Never tried it. Saw it does all kinds of mouse over and over things I don't need. I just want a plain fast search engine.

    ive tried bing a couple of times and i gotta say i dont dislike it. dont get me wrong it isnt a bad search engine, it's easy to navigate and all but i dont see any reason to even attempt a switch over from google. had bing been released a decade ago, this might be a much more interesting story.

    Yea, had they designed this a few years back it might of had a chance. Now however, I doubt that Bing can unseat Yahoo! much less Google search.

    I agree. Tried it for about 5 minutes and never used it again.

    Who watches TV?

    Anyway I think it's a lost battle. Google has a (nearly) perfect search engine so why would you want to switch to something else?

    For a search engine I usually use Yahoo! because it's my homepage. I never heard of Bing before today.

    I've actually found myself using Blackle - Energy Saving Search (Black Google which apparently 'saves alot of energy, and in a way helps the environment'). Yeah its watered down google, but its actually easier on the eyes, anyone tried it?

    Saw a story saying it used to save a little power when most people had CRTs but with a huge portion of users using LCD there isn't really any savings. They said instead it's better to just be sure to shut off your monitor if your not using it for a while.
