Maybe bing is better, but the keyword there is "maybe".

Even if it is, this is the same battle between blu ray and dvd. Similarly to DVD, google is good enough that the jump to blu ray/bing isn't really worth it to people (if the benefit is even visible to them).

Sorry, microsoft, but I think google is going to win this round.

I agree, there needs to be a giant leap in search interface or capabilities before anyone unseats Google.

Although I do hold out hope that a small underground 'open' competitor will emerge .... someday. A boy can dream can't he?
