My searches are faster with Bing, especially when I use Safari.
Now if only Apple would allow me to make Bing my default engine.

No more Google for me.
No more Firefox, either.

After searching for less than two minutes I noticed a drastic decrease in my browsing speed. I also noticed the usual tracking cookies common to Micro$oft net-platforms. Waiting fot the tabs to close was like watching paint dry and I can only wonder now how much using this search engine has damaged my computer. I'm less than impressed but should have figured that this Bing-dong attempt by Micro$oft would just be another way for them to gather info and manipulate our browsing experience in a negative way. Has anyone actually watched any interviews with Gates? His (and his successors) motives are very clear. Use Bing at your own risk!!!

Bing rather then people who game SEO and come at the the top of Google Search result. Lets hope for something new and useful this time from Microsoft

Its true, all the other search engines are behind the power of Google.

A huge part of searching is habit, but the biggest factor is that Big G's results are almost always the most comprehensive. I even try using Yahoo and Live Search (now … Bing) for the exact same queries and get subpar results.

Until either challenger FIXES the indexing capabilities and convinces me that their results are complete (as you said), Google will continue to be my default.
