Thats a really broad assumption to make based on an honest and open question for which you gave the vaguest of replies to. I'd love to hear or see some actual results that would influence me to change my opinion of Bing - for which, you seemed ripe to be able to answer. To say I have a history of negative posts regarding Microsoft products is ludicrous at best. Do I like Bing? No. Do I wish to discuss counter arguments from people that say that they prefer Bing? I'd love to, as I'd love to know if there is any reason to change my opinion of it.
You haven't posted anything regarding your personal *experience* with it. You and Rod have posted how you feel about it. I'm happy for you that it makes you feel good. As far as a technical discussion regarding the usefulness of it as a search engine, and if we are doing children a disservice as to co-opting them into being a click machine to bolster its usage stats... well, that I have a personal as well as technological issue with. Here is an example search I just performed for something currently technically relevant: "how does heartbleed affect Microsoft Windows 8" First official Microsoft Security listing? On Google, page 1 #7. On Bing, I stopped counting after page 2 #28. -- Espi On Thu, Apr 24, 2014 at 2:22 PM, Steven Peck <[email protected]> wrote: > Micheal, > > I said in my experience the results are as good or better.
