Coupled with Cortana it is part of an experiment to determine just how far users can be pushed before they start to smash the vdu ( rather than the actual pc ).
We're philosophical about power outages here. A.C. come, A.C. go.

Cortana has been the first service I closed on my Windows Phone, and on PC I still have 7 and rocking.

Not entirely. From what I hear, Bing finds more nekkid ladies than Google. Now, Google finds me enough nekkid ladies already, so I've never had the need to verify personally. 
Of course at work (unless you have a fantastic job) this is rather a moot point.
But worthless? Nah!!

Actually, I like bing because it finds different stuff than google. When I'm not finding enough stuff, I'll try bing.
I also like duckduckgo.com because it uses google, but doesn't remember my preferences, so I get a clean slate.

At work I have only bing accessible, while at home I'm ok with Google.

And in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes, 'Ing[^]' is the Luminoth[^] word for 'terror', so Bing is 'B Terror' 
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Interesting how "bing" means useless rubbish in Ireland, and means disease in Chinese. We all know that disease is useless rubbish.

That's bing4. The other bings mean different b things.

It sounds like what you're saying is that Google does a better job than Bing of automatically identifying you, without you having to do anything, and then applying your own preferences.

Well no, not really. Google is plain, boring interface. I open the page, type in my search and Boom!, I get a response - I'm not distracted by all the shiny knobs and buttons that I really neither want nor need.

There's nothing plain about Google's search page nowadays.
I just launched my browser, went to google.com, and I'm now looking at a page that's asking me to login (no thanks), along with asking me to download Chrome (no thanks)...every time I load it up.

You actually made me curious about bing - so I went to check it...
I was there for 15 seconds... The moment I saw the 'outlook.com' and 'office online' on the menu bar, I closed it...

Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

Why not try DuckDuckGo[^] instead?

That's my default search engine. Highly recommended!
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

It's a Microsoft product, good until the shine wears thin then completely falls apart.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Yes, and it found you.
All your computer are belong to them.

not all yet... I still have some machines without Win10

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you

The trick would be to enable cookies, log in, edit your preferences, log out, edit your preferences and then log in again.
After doing all that, you just go to your preferences and edit them.
Then you search for something and edit your preferences again.
And you're all set.
Every once in a while, once a month or so, you just click on preferences and edit them again.
And then you're set for life.
Really happy with bing, to be honest.
But.. too bad the search results are a bit wonky most of the time.

WTF??? Why should I have to do all of that? If they can't get it right then elephant them.

I always use DuckDuckGo.
No ads, no tracking. What else does one need?
