It's not bad, but it is any better?
I need a valid reason to do something other than Google, since my fingers automagically just type google without thinking when I have to search. Without a very compelling reason to switch, I'm not sure why I would even give Bing a try. I know when I search for something I hit google, in the rare, rare, rare instance that Google is down for me, I go to Yahoo. Bing does not even come to mind.
I use Google 95% of the time. Otherwise I use Bing. If Google is down, I'll go to Bing before Yahoo.
Ah yes, but if Google was down where would bing get their results from
