Does anyone use this search engine? Another futile attempt by MS?

What's funny is this is where I first heard about the aerial photos available on the computer!

At this point, Bing is shaping up to be a fad. Unless Microsoft adds some unique features that people actually want, it's going to go nowhere fast. I'm glad they're out there in the search engine market though. Monopolies are bad, and we don't want Google conquering the internet :D

I've been trying to test it out even though it's hard to deprogram myself from automatically going to google. The video and picture search is awesome. It's a huge improvement over the old live search. So far it's getting great reviews too and looks like it's gaining users really fast. I think it's here to stay and Google is probably starting to worry.

I really like the way Bing lets me review news videos. I just hover over the small photo and I get a preview with sound - saves me LOTS of clicking. I have not done any searches on it yet.

Well looks like Bing is here to stay. Reception to it has been etrememely positive all over and it nearly caught up with Yahoo's market share within a just a few weeks. Yahoo has finally seen the writing on the wall and announced yesterday they made a deal with Microsoft. Yahoo search is now Bing search even though it will still keep the yahoo look. Microsoft now has about 30% and gaining of the search market. The search engine war with google is officially heating up.
