Bing is a massive improvement for Microsoft, but they (like Yahoo and everyone else) are still years if ever from taking away significant market share from Google.

Umm Google is better then Bing. It's been said before: would you want Microsoft making decisions for you

Given that Google actually has a more iron grip on your personal information and all your internet history, I'd rather do business w/ Microsoft in this instance. That's beside the point that some people prefer Bing to Google (in spite of the stupid name).

It's just picking the lesser of two evils. Bing > Google.

For those that don't understand how browsers work; MS Bing presently has a tremendous disadvantage by not having the same database of user searches to refine their search engine's formulas. Virtually every user search, whether it be for Michael Jackson, Kate Spade bags, airline reservations to Rio, is research data to improve the engine. Things like misspellings, syntax and the user's response to the search results are compiled and adopted into the system.

Bing has some catching up to do and it's counting on Yahoo! users to help
