Bing!

In the wake of the news that Yahoo and Microsoft are joining forces to do battle against Google for search engine supremacy, I decided to read up a little bit on the Bing search engine that Microsoft offers. I didn't really know that much about it, because I've always been a Google user pretty much by default. Plus, as a die-hard Mac user I don't really pay much attention to what goes on in the Microsoft world.

So it turns out that of all people, Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak praised Microsoft's repackaged search engine (sort of). So I decided to take Bing out for a spin, and boy was I impressed. It's pleasing to the eye, it's pretty fast, and it seems to come up with what I'm looking for.

So I've decided that for the next month, I'm going to try to use Bing exclusively to see if I'm happy with the output. After all, I'm a pretty open-minded guy (not really) and I don't mind a little change (no way) even if it means adopting something from Microsoft (eww). Anyway, I'll probably post again in a month with my final decision (I'll hate it).
