I really do hate Microsoft, not only do they steal ALL ideas that get praised by the public, they also do it more than the usual copying of internet source codes. I hope to god Bing never overtakes Google. Man, the day that happens is the day Google needs to sue them for everything they've got.
I hate everything that Microsoft does now, they ruined MSN by adding useless features and making it more usage intense aswell as making games REQUIRE to login to the internet to play them, (Windows Games Live) I don't care if I get achievements, I just want to play the game without internet unless on Multiplayer!
The thing you have to keep in mind when considering this, is how much Google has integrated its self into our culture. There's not a day that goes by that I don't hear someone say or read, "Just google it." Google has become synonymous with the word "search". No amount of money can change that, no matter how much money Microsoft throws at their little pet search engine. Ultimately, we the people are who decides which search engine comes out on top. Until Microsoft provides a convincing argument for people to "bing" it, we will remain "googlers".
Bing is advertising on News shows, (well, show's that aren't news but they're like morning talk shows) and it gets really annoying seeing people being bought out this way...
Google will win the war .. i see to day Bing search result still very bad .. with un important result. Bing need a long journey to compete mastery of search engine by google. And the trying to compete with the king of search engine has been long time tryal by yahoo and msn .. but the result is no thing .. bing is just marketing blow up strategy to give better psycological position to the war .. but for quality of product it self still so far ... But nothing imposible in the world ... bing with Ms behind is a giant capital company also .. they can hijack all google important person & engineering with money and MS marketing strategi .. it's the only way to compete Google .. Personally i hope google win the war .. because the world so nice with google .. everything free .. but with MS .. hhmmm terrribly .. everyting will be eaten like monster and if google lose .. it posibble net will not be heaven anymore .. because all need money .. just like windows .. hhhmmm ...
MS is giant in other categories but they have to work hard in promoting Bing as powerful search engine as well.... There's a possibility that Bing can surpass Google as search engine, coz people are liking the simplicity of Bing and the results are now also pretty fast too..
