Internet & Networking Chances are that you've already heard of and even visited Bing, Microsoft's new search offering launched earlier in June, replacing the Live search of yesterday. It's new, shiny, and has pretty pictures, but does it really have much effect on the market? There have been those headlines claiming it's "taken a bite out of Google," but, looking at the statistics, it hasn't really affected the search industry at all.

kragil and others: Yes, Microsoft to date has had quite crappy search products. The problem is that they dont have to be better than everyone else. They only have to be good enough to not be shunned. Look at IE. Even when it was at its worst, it was still the dominant browser simply because it was the default and most people were unable/too lazy to change. I dont want to see that happen to Google because they actually earned their position.
