It isn't an "anti-Microsoft rant" - it's a serious question. Let's look at that paragraph again: > Since Bing's advertising is all about giving you the answers you > want, not some random stuff that may be close, is it a more > valuable/trustworthy result? This is basically an "If A (it's all about giving you), then B (more trustworthy)". Now what happens if A is in fact not true? Then you have no basis for determining B at all. And when A is phrased in nice fuzzy terms like "giving you the answer you want", it's pretty obvious that Marketing has come by and applied some spin. So, pro-Microsoft ranters - what's the actual story minus the Marketing spin? Got anything besides Microsoft PR to back up the thesis that Bing plans to do better at "the results you want" than other search engines? (Remember - Google isn't about "the results you want", it's about getting those sponsored ad links next to "the results you want" and they can make a living off the 3% of the time the sponsored ad link *is* the result you want)
