Bing is my default for pr0n. I only use Google when I'm doing actual research or looking up something mundane.






Which is about 10% of the time. :)

Article also says he'd sell Xbox. Big mistake. That is MSFT's one product that is still considered "cool." It's a great brand ambassador.

Not anymore, after this latest iteration. The NSA back doors and all that, the backwards compatibility issues, the blatant greed built right into the damn thing, basically everything Boogie2988 screamed about, it's not a console built for the consumer. It's a console built to spy and pry. Spy on owners if the NSA wants to and pry the wallets open to siphon everything out.

Bing pr0n searches are amazing. Don't be so quick to hate, people.

Though Win 8 is really really bad.

And 8 (and less even with 8.1) was not bad either. If 8 had more new account tutorials to ease the interface transition and gave mouse cues for those that aren't willing to experimentally play around for more than 3 minutes at a Best Buy (and the understanding of the buried list system, limited recent program list in previous Start menus, figuring how charm settings worked) then it maybe just as accepted.

As usual, people are quick to jump the gun on an unknown.

Again, Bing as a search (past year since I strongly used it) is no different than Google.

Why change the interface so drastically? They're just changing stuff to change stuff.

Bing is better than google when it comes to image and video results. Furthermore, it should be government supported, just like PBS.

Ever used it on a tablet, and going back and forth between working files, programs, casual use and work? (opinion on the interface push on Tablet PCs)

Ever wanted more programs pinned, but cannot get enough start menu list access or taskbar access so it doesn't obfuscate active windows mixed with pinned taskbar icons? Ever have to 'reveal desktop' a lot and potentially lose open window placement by opening a different window (revealing your previous revealed windows one by one)? (opinion in a strict desktop PC use)

No matter if your statement is true or false, people are still breaking down doors to get one and they have a loyal following.

I personally only use PS because I hate the xbox controller. But I recognize it has it's fans.

Would this thread be an appropriate place to rant about the Bing Desktop and Bing Search updates that show up in Windows Update every other week, no matter how many times I say 'Hide Update'?

I prefer Bing for image search without moderation. Something Google fails at because it thinks every household is full of children not being parented.

Oh wait, Google is probably right.
