Bing "Decision" Engine
Bing is the brand new search engine from Microsoft (which replaces Live Search.) The design grew from research findings that revealed “66% of consumers are more focused on using the Internet to get things done, rather than to simply find information.” Bing is organized to help online consumers make informed decisions, take quicker action, and save money.
To make the Bing experience utterly delightful, the landing page features a gorgeous new photograph every day. Move your cursor around the image to find hot spots that offer information about the photographic subject.
Thoughtfully devised features for online consumers aim to save time, hassle, and money:

Bing looks really good with it’s off center text box placement and full page images. But apart from that, I haven’t really found it very useful. Maybe it concentrates too much on US internet users. I am definitely going to use it for a month before I give up on it

@Jeet, A month trial is a good idea; you’ll really become familiar with it. It does seem like Bing will shine most for people who shop online or travel a lot.
my initial test result shows that Bing is as good as Google when displaying relevant search results. Google might be having a tough competitor with Microsofts own search engine.
@detoxdiet, Think you’re right. The two companies are competing for more than search engine market though. Apparently Bing is part of a defensive move by Microsoft to protect its Windows and Office business. See http://knowledge.wharton.upenn.edu/article.cfm?articleid=2311
i have been evaluating the search results of Microsoft Bing compared to Google and they are comparable. Bing gives almost the same relevant search results just like Google.
@George, They are quite similar. Try Cuil [http://www.cuil.com/] for different results. Cuil ranks pages on content and relevance, instead of popularity.
