Who has used Bing yet? What did you think? I personally love the video previews on a mouse hover and that it opens YouTube inside of Bing instead of redirecting you to the page. It works pretty well!

I haven't used Bing yet. I did use IE8 earlier and when i made a typo in the address it redirected me to Bing, and i thought what the hell is this?! I though i'd been redirected to a dodgy site :lol::lol:

I tried Bing. I agree, it has some nice features. Used the same search in both Google and Bing and got some interesting (and varied) results. Think I'll still stick with Google as my default though.

The new WolframAlpha looks promissing too!

Bing and Google are showing varied results for the same searches. I'm personally beginning to lose faith in Google... not that they are to blame... But I have been using Bing since its release on June 2nd and I am liking what I am seeing.

I love Bing's presentation of results, especially the live video previews, although I'd guess that feature won't be around long by the time copyright lawyers get done. The regular search results have been pretty good, but one thing that I have noticed is that I really haven't grown to trust Bing just yet - I find myself double-checking against Google quite a bit.

I'm lazy, know Google works, and haven't given Bing a good try yet...
