Bing this!

I tried the new Bing search engine today. My reaction is: unimpressed, annoyed. The site offers no real differentiators except apparently Microsoft is making unexplained decisions on your behalf about what results you want. Am I supposed to be happy about this? Because the second search I tested did not return the expected results.

Oh, and the image results page crashed my browser out completely, forcing a restart. That's just amateur.

Microsoft, I know Google pisses you off, what with the free calendar, word processor and spreadsheet...But this is one area you might not be smart enough to wander into. If you want to fight back you should probably stick with what you know and come up with more competitively priced office productivity software.
