Out of curiosity, I've been trying Bing out for a few weeks. It doesn't feel desperate at all; incredibly, it's actually good. And I've been surprised at how much I enjoy its well-chosen and often beautiful pictures of the day---as with (restricted) Twitter results, a tiny differentiator vs. Google, but I suspect an important one.

MSFT might, just might, not be quite as dead as we thought.

I second that. I've had bing on my work computer for the last several weeks, and google at home. I haven't missed google on my work computer. And I think the UI for bing is pretty slick; you hover over a link and see a preview.

A couple of times, I didn't find something in bing, switched back to google.... and couldn't find it either. So I guess you could say that, provisionally, I'm sold.

That matches my experience as well.
