despite the good results reached with Bing in the SE market share, I believe that Microsoft STILL needs to buy Yahoo (this year) to really compete with Google, as explained in this article: newgoos.blogspot.com/.../why-bing-will-be-sold-for-1-in-2012.html

Been using it, and it's almost the same as Live Search, with just a few modifications (that couldn't have just updated Live Search with?).

Though it has nailed down probably all my results, it still gets 'on10' query wrong. The closest it gets to the results is usually on the 3rd page, with onten.net listed (though on10.net would be better). You think Microsoft could nail this one, consider the site is associated with Microsoft....

From Bing's twitter post: "we are not yet fully deployed but we agree we need to keep working on worldwide coverage issues. thanks for your help!"

I can't understand why Microsoft can't make the design consistent and make features available in all markets. The US version is better (in terms of layout) and has a video search, which Hong Kong version doesn't.

Nice to see Bing even thou I felt it should have remain Live Search. I wonder when they are going to change the Live Search over to Bing in the Windows Live Toolbar search area, internet explorer 8 search bar, and Windows Live Mobile search bar?

In Canada it's preview, not beta, which is nice to see. Tired of seeing the word "beta" everywhere.

The image is different from the ones you showed though.

Live Maps changed to Bing Maps!
