I've wanted to try using it on a regular basis, but my gut always sends me to google.com before I even think of trying Bing.

Google is too easy to use, been using it for so long don't know if I will ever switch

I do use Bing as secondary though

I've been using bing a fair bit, and I enjoy it. I've set it as my default in a few browsers, including Chrome.

But there are a few instances where google is still better, so I find myself doing some Google searches here and there.

Competition is good.

Used it for the free porn searches while they lasted. Aside from that I use Google for everything.

I use it a lot more now then i thought. To much junk comes up on google now. I am sure if Bing got big enough people would mess with and/or pay to have results different.

As I expected. I use Google for everything as well.

Should there be any concern that Google is monopolizing the search engine industry?

Used it to get cash back from Newegg once. Very sparingly otherwise. Google is just too good.

I've tried.

Multiple times actually.

I really wanted a replacement for Google, but it's not happening.

The results, especially for tech related stuff, just do not deliver what Google does for me.

Relevance is something Bing really seems to struggle with for me as well.

If i had to, i could definitely live with it.

But after trying to use it instead of Google numerous times now, i just can't, not with the choice there...

I use bing all the time. I use hyperwords in mozilla, and the google search is broken. So now I use bing for most of my searches.

No, because I use Google for more than just searching. Bing needs something functionally equivalent to iGoogle (custom home page), and Google Reader. Presented similarly -- at least as fast and easy to use as Google's solution is.

That said, I have no love for Google, as a company.

I only use clubbing.com for the prizes. Not too fond of their search engine. My preference for search is still Google. But the games / prizes are nice. You can get Vista Ultimate or Office 2007 Ultimate totally free.
