Ross Sent: Friday, April 25, 2014 12:27 PM To: ntsysadm@lists.myitforum.com Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] OT: Microsoft Bing in the classroom Really, my first "search engine" was an old 2-inch thick Computer Shopper. I haven't seen a computer shopper made recently, but the last one I saw looked... pathetic. Back to the topic, I am glad that Bing has an education-centric search for schools. This is the kind of competition that only makes both products better. (Least we forget other alternatives search engines, such as DuckDuckGo, ixquick, etc.) Also, be aware that google customizes your search results based on who you are, where you are, and what they know about you. I suspect Bing does the same thing, and if they don't, I think they should. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District J- P <jnat...@hotmail.com> , 4/25/2014 9:21 AM: Copernic from 1990's Jean-Paul Natola Date: Fri, 25 Apr 2014 09:09:44 -0700 Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] OT: Microsoft Bing in the classroom From: don....@gmail.com To: ntsysadm@lists.myitforum.com Pssshhhh...

I view it as a Ford vs. Chevy discussion where some people have bad luck with one or the other brand or simply choose one over the other for various reasons. -Dave Lum From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [mailto: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Steven M.

I’d expect MS’s responses regarding Win8 and Google’s answers about Chrome might not be the most level of playing fields, for example. -sc From: listsad...@lists.myitforum.com [ mailto:listsad...@lists.myitforum.com] On Behalf Of Micheal Espinola Jr Sent: Friday, April 25, 2014 12:49 AM To: ntsysadm Subject: Re: [NTSysADM] OT: Microsoft Bing in the classroom I appreciate the example J-P - thats interesting.
