    Bing is specifically designed to build on the benefits of today’s search engines but begins to move beyond this experience with a new approach to user experience and intuitive tools to help customers make better decisions, focusing initially on four key vertical areas: making a purchase decision, planning a trip, researching a health condition or finding a local business.

    The homepage is graphically intensive and therefore a memory hog and a little slower to load than Google. Typical MS thinking really.
    The photo search in a bit slow and clunky. I searched for known results and was given the same thing by Google, just faster and in a different order. The scrolling feature on Bing, that is also offered in FF with Auto Pager plug in, is slow to load. The related information for each pic is not displayed until you mouse over it. This slows down searching by not letting you see repeat sources readily.

    Though the logos might be different, but the functionality is the same as that which will be shown to those using Bing. Probably the most significant change is that Bing now organizes search results into categories.
