What about it is awesome, exactly? I keep trying to give it a fair shake, but it's not got the critical mass of awesomeness to make me give up something familiar. In fact, I don't see a single thing about it better than what I'm used to.
I don't mind switching, but I honestly don't see any advantage to doing so. But I'm probably missing something, so am looking for knowledge from others. The only concrete thing I've gotten so far is from a buddy of mine who works for MS, so ... not quite unbiased, there.

No. I think at most, probably when Eric Schmidt changes channels on his enormous HD television he is mildly annoyed at the awful mind-numbing commericals Microsoft's "marketing" team has come up with Bing. I don't remember where I first saw it but I think "But It's Not Google" captures it pretty well.
"I bet Cnet and the like just have MadLibs-like templates for "journalism" like this. "Does ___ have ___ running scared"?"
Yes.
CNET also has a lot of articles that the headlines are purely questions.
