    http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10409175-56.html?tag=mncol I wonder how many people switched back to google. It also a bit sad that MS can't even keep its own search engine up and running. Don't they have a test environment to try all the changes before they put changes in production?

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

      Google Search wasn't down as such but it was unusable for a short while, i.e., every link produced a spurious malware message. I can't remember how many minutes it happened for.

        This week Microsoft foolishly asked my opinion of MSDN Search and VS2008 Help in general. In short form, I told them that the only way to find anything remotely relevant to the question asked of MSDN is to search for it using Google.

                      That is not the Micro$oft way. They just put it out and let the users test it. :sigh:
