When I had it, they gave me a full-blown browser like the one in the screenshot I posted. It was probably some application that they simply added a bunch of shortcuts to and included one of those mini-IE functions, much the same way as windows media player browser works. It was kind of cheezy and is probably something you don't want to use (I never had it installed for long either), but my point simply is this: The average consumer will use it because It's there by default It's in the instructions They're afraid to remove it even if they don't like it If consumers were smart, over half the people (who are actually making money) here on DP would be broke. And if you're selling to an idiot, it just makes your job a whole lot easier.
Thanks for putting up this thread.. I honestly don't have a huge idea about bing. All I know is that its a search engine but I never thought what it could do to a website. Keep it up..
Any suggestions on how to force Bing into indexing my site? Submitted about 3 month ago with sitemaps, still no results...

What's the site url?
One thing i've noted both about yahoo and bing is how keyword and meta keyword centric these two are especially yahoo. Google, doesnt really count them anymore, but it has been pretty for me to rank good for bing and yahoo. I've 4 sites and all of them rank way better in bing as compared to google.
Great information on Bing, they are begining to move in the right direction, it's just that they are slow at doing that.
