Sure, Google remains the king of search with more than three-quarters of the market but Bing’s growth since its makeover is certainly nothing to sneeze at. In just two months, the site has grown roughly as much percentage points and in partnering with Yahoo the two have a better chance of slowly chipping away Google’s search and online advertising numbers.
Under the agreement, Microsoft’s Bing search engine would now be the exclusive search provider for Yahoo’s sites, while in exchange the latter will sell both its own and Microsoft’s search ads using the AdCenter platform. Whether or not they can make any significant dent in Google's dominance remains to be seen, but at least the trend seems positive so far.

Google (big brother) wants to control the world with their "cloud" concepts. I for one like my software local and in my control. Google is much to big and thinks they can tell us what we want. Don't be fooled people. While they do have the best search (right now) I hope that changes. Bing is ok, one thing i do like is the right side rollover content popup, very nice. Google looks very dated.

I have used Open DNS as my DNS server for sometime, however since I started using Bing I have found that Open DNS blocks Bing so have had to switch to my ISP DNS server. Do not understand the blockage.

More conspiracy theory drivel... Cloud computing concepts have been around before Google, it's just that Google has embraced the concept to match an ever-more-mobile consumer base. You can keep you software local, keep your data local if you want to, but for those who may need to access their stuff from anywhere, anytime, things like cloud computing can be handy. Barring security concerns, cloud computing can be much more efficient and allow lighter leaner platforms to do the same things that bigger computers can. It's not for everyone (and not for me either), but it's not evil, get over it.
And it may look dated, but it's still got over 3/4 of the market share... Maybe people like familiarity and stability, over new gadgets and learning curves?

Just as Vrmithrax stated, this is just conspiracy theory BS. This is just one more example of why "Guests" SHOULD NOT be allowed to post. Man up and create an account if you have something to say, and cool it with the anonymous crap.

New things always develop hard at the beginning. Competition promotes the development of the market.
