Bing

Microsoft, Yahoo team up to ding Google with Bing

So, MS is of the opinion that Bing is better than Google, and that, interestingly, search can be so much more.

Well, apparently they haven't paid enough attention to what Google offers. I just got through trying Bing. I inserted my home address. I saw the results, and I'm not only unimpressed, but it makes me wonder how the hell can MS think Bing is even in the same league as Google.

Sure, I got some results with Bing, some entries where it tried to produce something related to what I inserted. But with Google, the very first entry, as we all know when we insert an address, is a map. Yes, a map of where that address is located. Brilliant! But guess what, this isn't new. This has been around for at least a few months I think, maybe a year or so? Long enough to where I think, WTF is MS smoking to ever suggest that Bing is better than MS. And yes, search can be so much more, just look at Google!

OS: MS Vista 64-bit is my fave so far(yes I've tried Linux, I used to own macs, MS wins hands down)
CPU: Really liking my i7 920 so far with my ASRock Supercomputer mobo... prior builds were all with AMD CPUs. No clear winner imo.
Browser: FF is my fave (yes, I've tried them, even Opera)
Toolbar: Groowe (get it, now)
Search: Google is my fave
Video Card: ATI, hands down, Nvidia is the suck

So, some things are pretty cut and dry. Not all. But right now Google is definitely better. If Bing is really wanting to be the best, then somebody over at MS needs to inject some reality over there because you're not going to be the best unless you're better than Google. And right now, it's not even close. To think that you're better and that it's just a matter of getting people to try you out... lol. I wish you luck though, if Bing is eventually turned into something that is better than Google, then I'll definitely use it. Good luck with keeping Google locked in time while you do that.
