It is times like these when we can discover who is objective and who
is just an M$ minion.

"If there has been one consistent thing about Bing and its reception,
it has been the lack of consistency. Some have showered praise on
the search engine, arguing that while not a leap and bound over
Google, it provides a much better experience than the old Live search
and better options to refine your search. Other reviewers were less
positive, including a particularly scathing review by PC World..."
"Then came a StatCounter report at the end of last week, which
claimed Bing scored 16.28 percent of U.S. search traffic last week
compared to 10.22 percent by Yahoo and 71.47 by Google... However,
the weekend brought still other reports contradicting these figures.
Search Engine Land checked with leading market research firms
Comscore, Nielsen, and Hitwise, which reported that Yahoo was
consistently doing three times the traffic as Bing. CNET, which owns
a large network of sites also disputed the claims of a Bing victory,
saying its own internal data indicated Bing did not pass Yahoo. The
dramatic reversal brings to question the accuracy of the original
StatCounter report...."
Why am I not surprised?
