    Good way to advertise.

    It's not just Microsoft.com: any Microsoft web property (Windows Live, MSN, etc.) is using it. Basically anything Microsoft that used Live Search is using Bing.

    Ah, I didn't see that before. I looked at the left side of your post and saw "One Microsoft Way."

    i was using bing to test it out, i thought ignore hype (good and bad) and have a look

    it was going alright until it failed in a BIG way, so now im back to google and prob for good

    the said failed search was for some liquid cooling equipment i was looking at buying, namely made by a company called Alphacool

    i was going back to the site to check something, and was too lazy (lol) to type full address , .www.alphacool.com/shop., so i just typed it into address bar to search with bing, searched alphacool

    and low and behold the first 2, yes 2 pages didnt have the address, search alphacool and bing cant find alphacool.com (i stopped looking after 2 pages and just typed address)

    so that has turned me off bing

    Liking the Bing


    As long time google user (who isn't) I think it is unfair re the "bing is a silly and or crappy name" as I recall the first time I heard some D bag @ *bucks say "I googled it". I actually spit coffee out my nose. So do use some perspective people.
    As far as the bing "Descision engine" I really like it. Do not mis google @ all. Still use gmail,docs etc but let's face it. Search needed an over haul re Web 2.5 ish style sheets. I am finding what I need, faster with less effort re how to query with Bing.

    So that's my 2 cents worth.

    I just put www.alphacool.com/shop into Bing search window and the page opened immediately. I don't understand the problem

    You're looking for "The Yellowstone Color Series", right?

    Works for me. Alphacool.com is the first hit.

    Bing really has improved. I started using Bing because it has a slick and easy interface. Even though the search function doesn't work perfectly well compared to google yet, I'm sure they will improve. If Bing continues to improve at this rate, who knows, Bing is the new google.
