Microsoft Bing vs Google

Microsoft Bing, which was released on June 1, looks quite nice on first glance. It has many good features, but is it better than the dominator of the Search indistry, Google?
In short:- yes. It looks good and the particular feature I liked was that when you point at a small circle in front of the search entry, a small callout shows you the contents of the page. However, it is a bt slower than google and it may take more time if silverlight is installed o your system, since it uses some silverlight features. Overall, it is a good replacement of google.

Microsoft on for a downfall

All of Microsoft's new products are failing to capture a big market share. It looks like Microsoft is only some years away before its products are not very widely used.
Windows Vista, its most recent operating system for desktops, has been heavily criticized. Same for Office 2007. Its Internet Explorer has also been losing market share at an increasing rate from 4 years.
These products have good free alternatives (i don't mean those virus ones). You can try Linux instead of Vista, OpenOffice instead of MS Office and Firefox or Chrome instead of Internet explorer. All these are virus free and trusted.

Microsoft unable to get a good hold in the Browser War.

After Microsoft's Internet Explorer 8 release yesterday, I downloaded it, hoping to expect something good from it. However, after I used it, I can say that I had a bad user experience from it. Why?
Microsoft did make up a good web browser to compete with the others, but, it still looks incomplete. It's add-ons gallery was no-good, because it had a very small amount of add-ons. Same thing for the WebSlices feature. And, when I opened Suggested Sites, it gave me only Facebook as a suggested site.
Its InPrivate browsing is the only feature I liked. But, still I won't recommend IE8 to anyone. Better go with Mozilla Firefox, or Google Chrome, or Safari.
