MS misses the boat I think

Microsoft has a new search engine designed to compete with Google. It's called Bing. OK, fine..... I went to check it out. About the only thing 'new' I could find was a typical photo backdrop at the splash screen. Pretty. But useless. I tried a few things on it and it is not nearly as easy to use as Google. But it is pretty.

Turns out I'm not the only one who's not too impressed.
