Microsoft's bizarrely-named Bing search engine is up and running, a couple of days earlier than expected.

I'm excited by this, therefore I am a loser.

A very good performance on this thread thus far. Excellent work, all.

Hi. We're Microsoft. We noticed you're using Google instead of our fantastic new Bing. Would you mind if we changed your default search engine without asking your permission? Great!

To quote an anonymous coward in the Slashdot discussion ...<blockquote>Microsoft is not bad, it is just misunderstood.

People think that Microsoft is a computer company that is abusive. But that's not true. Microsoft is an abuse company that uses computer equipment as a means of delivering abuse. Seen in that way, Microsoft is completely successful at what it tries to do.

(I am not liable for any damage displaying this opinion causes to your monitor.)</blockquote>(ADD: All of this has happened before:<blockquote>http://www.ondotnet.com/pub/wlg/6594

Tell me again ... what's so great about this company? Nothing? That's what I thought.

I saw "The Meaning of Life" again and again, and I thought it was the machine that goes ping.

That's what my google friends say, but where is Google's price comparison tool?

Btw, fire in Seattle took out Bing's Travel server today.
