Bing’s Reign As #2 Search Engine Lasted One Day

Type "linux" into Google and you get good sensible answers. Type "linux" into Bing and you get something obviously tainted by the marketing department.

Microsoft can't hope to win with this attitude. Nobody is going to use a search engine which can't be trusted.

I'm not sure that's the case. Using the "blind comparison" site (linked earlier) I can't immediately distinguish "something obviously tainted by the marketing department"

The results for the search 'linux' are nearly identical for the first page. In fact, the first result is exactly the same.

I think he means the auto completion suggestions, not the search results.

While that used to be the case with MSN Search / Live Search, it hasn't been true for a while (at least in the US index).
