    Bing (Full version, only available selecting USA english, because the other local version are just the BETA) is very good. It will take some traffic from Google after some time.

    do you think it will stay in charge?

    bing brings some features, that were already forgetten @google. for example the calc or the gambio service..

    Its not electrifying though is it. The movie search is quite cool. But no one is going to switch from google to bing. They should have done something more radical.

    Only so many ways to reinvent the wheel, but I think they could have taken more chances with the layout and design which of course would affect function in some way, but my main beef is with their algorithm..but then again that's what makes it NOT google and more of it's own entity - it favors Onpage factors.

    I don't think it is a blatant rip-off of Google. Sure, there are some elements which are similar and maybe even exactly the same as Google's but that doesn't make it a rip-off. Bing is still a very unique search engine with many unique characteristics.

    I think they are actually quite inovative in their approach. I mean lets face it it's a search engine, a lot has been done,
    there is going to be much repeatition. Bing has infact broken some new ground and I love those bing commercials :)

    Bing is pulling its results from its search engine MSN, not Google.
