Agree completely, the adds don't address anything I've ever had a problem with. I tried a few Bing vs. Google searches, Bing never did better, sometimes did worse. Didn't hold it against them though till the IE 6 at work kinda had me use Bing on accident out of force of habit. Searches came back so useless I just use it now to find Google. So much money wasted on an sub par product with a sub par add campaign.
There is no denying that Bing faces an uphill battle. That said, I have to say, I am impressed so far. It may not be clearly better than Google, but it is not clearly behind anymore. That's an impressive feat.Beyond that, increased competition can only mean good thing for users.
don't use bing! it's strategically stupid. if by some freak chance bing wins and by an even more freakier chance google dies(hypothetically), our only free, cool, customer supporting, best ever company will be gone and we will be left with the piece-of-crap, greedy ms... do you want that?ye competition is good, but the risk isn't worth the prize, if it has anything to do with ms - run!
No, that's 100% incorrect. Live search was killed off and it had completely different algorithms to Bing. Bing was codename Kumo for a while and uses a completely different decision engine for results which is why they are so much more accurate. Not to mention that Live only had a tenth of Bing's features..Live was rubbish. I'm using Bing exclusively now and I couldn't have done the same with Live if I tried.Yes, Live redirects to Bing, and yes they did spend a tonne of money advertising Bing, but it's captured a lot more attention than Live did.
I can't wait until something better than Google is created. It'll be funny to see all these people cling to Google just for the sake of their imbecilic loyalties.

Yeah, if they give me a $100, I'll use Bing as well.
