The bigger question is how many people may have noticed it in the first place. Who is using Bing anyway? ;P

I would think so but in my experience no matter how much you test in the test environment something escapes to production. This might be one of those things.

I am...as well as one in every 10 people using the internet (bing has a 9.9% market share last I checked which was a couple weeks ago). Very rarely do I ever switch back to google for searching anymore. Thier news and maps are still superior to bing though.

I don't know. Can we ask Google? or is WolfRamAlpha more appropriate for such question? :)

It's the machine that goes "bing", but without the machine.

I've set it as home page, for the nice picture :) Sometimes I accidentally use it for search, but the results are rather appaling.

I much prefer Bing for normal searches. The Google maps are better, but I rarely use Google any more.

If Bing gives you a Page Not Found error, does it help to search for it with Google?

In my experience Google provides superior search results over Bing when it comes to looking for programming information, particularly Microsoft platform programming information.
