Microsoft Bing: Much better than expected

PH3N0M · May 28, 2009, 11:24 PM

Microsoft on Thursday took the wraps off Bing, the rebranded and rebuilt search engine formerly code-named Kumo, designed to replace Live Search. It's a solid improvement over the previous search product, and it beats Google in important areas. It will help Microsoft gain share in the search business. It's surprisingly competitive with Google.

Interesting... I'll give it a go the next time Google lets me down (99% of the time, it's spot on, but from time to time it does give some dated pages and the new ones are nearly impossible to find).

When it goes live I will give it a shot, but like IvanV said Google hardly ever lets you down!

Microsoft again might be a little late to gain any attention when Google is so engraved into peoples head lol.

It looks like know what I am thinking of , whenever I type a few words I find what I am looking for and it is simple not crowded with tons of ads and garbage like MS sites.
If you look at the pic you will notice it is a straight clone to google apart from the name.
