hummm..another BING website? i guess it was Gates try at the original....sigh

Doesn't really matter what it's called. If it does what the preview video says it does and does it well, I and many others will use it.

---THANK YOU for the info---I personally prefer not to have any search-bar into my browser!---(wish I could vaporize it with a lazer)---so, maybe I will not be doing the 'bada-bing-bada-bam thing since I do prefer to use other independent search sites on my homepage---(no offense intended at M/S)---

peace

Got to say i'v been converted.

Its now my default search engine and start page. I used to use google but i think Bing even though its classed as a beta, looks nicer and is easier to use with video previews etc.

I still prefer google, easier interface and classic search and image pages, etc...

bing got homepaged by me .
it's a good google replacer.
i'd like to continue my search with it till i spot some significant flaws comparing with google.

Sounds like you're liking it (for the most part).

Just wait; Bing, Windows 7... what's next?

I like Bing. It saves previous searchs on the left. There is no retyping the search again. The videos playing with having only to click on it is great. Pictures enlarge by putting the cursor on top of it. Generally speaking, it is easier than Google. I will stick with Bing.
