Microsoft is the Evil Empire. Instead of depicting Bill Gates with Borg implants, he should be shown in Darth Vader's helmet, or maybe Emperor Palpatines hooded robe.
Microsoft was also the originator of the 'permatemp' concept, where an employee could work longer than many 'permanent' employees and still receive no benefits. That's rapidly becoming the new standard in the New Economy.

Google has a lot simpler design, it's easier to use and people are used to it. Microsoft won't beat google in a search engine department - they shouldn't even try.

People won't start using Bing. Everyone's so used to google that no one will want to make a change. Google is much simpler and that's what I want from my search engine - I don't need pretty pictures anyways.

First off, after a week of test-driving it, I can report that Bing is fast and friendly. Faster than Google at assembling what amounts to a more usefully arranged assortment of links, images, and media associated with your search. The speed probably has as much to do with the fact that the entire world is not banging on Bing's servers the way they are on Google's, but it nonetheless feels uncommonly nimble. Do a video search and you instantly get a giant page of thumbnails:roll the cursor over one and it starts playing right there. Do a search for "Boston to New York" and you get a page of airfares, the direction prices are trending, and which travel days are cheapest.
