    Google did not have an established search site pointing directly to it, nor a large company supporting it. Google grew from scratch on its own.
    Marketing detracts from results. Results are better on Yahoo and Google than on Bing. If you want good results, do not use Bing. If you want to follow the hype and be lead by the nose by Microsoft, use Bing.

    I've just switched my default search to Bing in Firefox. I've been using it for two days and so far so good. I'll probably compare the results over time but I really want to give Bing a chance for now.

    Bing is still in beta so Google is still the best search engine at the moment in my opinion:)

    I've been meaning to give Bing a fair shot but it's tough to remember to use it for searching when you're so used to going to Google automatically. Like others, I'll probably have to switch my default search engine to try it out for a week or so. It never hurts to check out new tech (thoroughly).

    Google has "Image Result" , "Video Result", "News Result", "Blog Search", "Sports Scores" and "Google Maps".. What are you asking for other than that? Well.. Bing doesn't have something more powerful than those combined..

    At the routers, running about 7% from Bing. Google is up about 30%.
