Long time no see guys.
Lol stretching. Bing is as much nicer than Google as Office 2007 is nicer than Open Office. I know that is a bitter pill for a lot of you to swallow, but there it is.
Unless Google can turn around on a dime and radically modernize their website assets, this will be the same old Microsoft story one more time…
I haven’t used Bing much yet. My daughter thinks it’s the greatest thing since sliced bread. She says it gives her much better results than Google.
#1 – GregA – Bing is as much nicer than Google as Office 2007 is nicer than Open Office.
Obviously you’ve not tried OpenOffice.org 3.1.
#2 – hhopper – She says it gives her much better results than Google.
It’s faster and it’s in some cases more accurate. And above all… it provides a smörgåsbord of pr0n. Nope, I have switched…
I just downloaded the Microsoft Secutity Essentials BETA with no problems. Who said the downloads were capped?
@GregA
If Microsoft flushes $11 billion down the toilet to promote Bing, it could help stimulate the economy.
Google does need competition, though. And I’m not convinced that Google does anything so unique.
But Bing would need a ton of work and refinement for me even to consider “switching”.
But Microsoft is going to have new problems soon, I have a feeling some MS competitors like Apple are going to shortly refine the marketplace a bit.
In particular, that $99 iphone job.
Surprisingly enough, there are actually a lot of poorer people that use their cell phones for all their internet and browsing.
Microsoft may end up fighting a battle in the dinosaur pasture when the real battle is going to occur elsewhere.
@GregA
Actually, I hope Microsoft and Google do battle it out.
While those 2 companies are distracted, other companies can build and make things without having to worry quite as much about Microsoft or Google ruining the business by stealing the idea.
I like Google a lot. I also like that MS has finally done something (anything please). It’s good for everyone.
Actually I really disklike Office 2007. I found older versions better – 2007 was a real kick in the ass to power users.
And then there is Outlook 2010 which looks like fun.
I have faith that Microsoft can screw up anything they accidentally do right in the first place.
@qb
IMHO, it’s all been down hill since Office 97.
Microsoft will screw the pooch. They have a tremendous revenue stream to piss away. The folks at Google might do search differently if they want to do a judo move on the clumsy micro-softies.
Google loves to innovate. It’s amazing how good Google maps and Google Earth are. Microsoft had Flight Simulator forever, and Windows Mobile forever, and Google is going to bust the mobile space open with Android.
@Improbus
I stand corrected. You are absolutely right.
