It didn&#39;t even have the &#39;Explore&#39; sidebar.</p> <p>I&#39;m concerned these users will not come back now, as many will not know Bing has been updated, even though they saw the &quot;Beta&quot; tag, I doubt they&#39;d expect such features to randomly make an appearence if they do not know the US version had these.</p> <p>I think Microsoft have lost a lot of users and potential market share and I can&#39;t see how it was a logical move to not include these features to being with. If they could ensure these features made it for the US release, they could have made sure these features made it to each of the different markets. Let&#39;s face it, it&#39;s only been about a month extra.</p> <div style="clear:both;"></div><img src="http://www.liveside.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=13737" width="1" height="1">
