Bing vs. Google

I've read about it but never tried it , Bing.com , the search engine from Microsoft , as a human habit when we start with something and get satisfied by it , we don't give a chance for the change.
I've tried Bing vs. Google, since Google is the most popular search engine we all use.

first I tried searching about Sun cloud computing, the layout of the results , is more friendly and smooth than google, and when you move the mouse over the link paragraph, it opens a small cloud including the text and contains of the page, which i like big time.


Second , I tried searching for a movie , comparing Google with Bing , Bing's result page is more favorable




in addition , when browsing the image results , when you point the mouse to an image it enlarge it for you with its information. which is also a nice feature to attract users.


When click on videos , the videos appear to you as thumbnails, this is not it, when over the video with the mouse pointer, it starts to play , so you don't have to open the video to check if this is what you're looking for.


When searching for an equipment using part number and hit the search buttom , a result page appeared, but on the left side when i clicked on Shopping, I got a page with prices and pictures of the product.

also I noticed that the left menu dynamically changes according to what you're searching for

through my experience with bing , I've been satisfied and pleased, The big question that pops up now, would I be satisfied on the long term , or I'll reach a point where i need to go back to Google??

This I will know by time.... Try it and add your comments ^_^

Then you should start using it with IExplorer 8 and windows 7
the GUI functionality is unusual and the search engine performance is more powerfull,.... Enjoy

If you want to search for an image, open the bing page, and on the left side you will find a list , second link is "Image"
http://www.bing.com/images?FORM=ZZLH4

It will open the image search page, and type your keyword and hit it.
