I've liked this engine a lot more that google, because it gives you more relevant articles based on your search. What have you guys thought of it 1 week in?

It would have to be really good to make me want to use one of Microsoft's internet products. They've always been poor in features and usability and way too inconsistent. Too much renaming and way too many interface changes.

Hotmail is right now about the worst webmail you can use, although they used to lead the field. Their searches have always been cluttered and messy. The one thing I like about Google is simplicity. Simple, clean search pages, more advanced email (nobody else offers full POP and IMAP support), and effectiveness.

Microsoft unfortunately seems to want to keep integrating their "Windows Live" products more and more into Windows itself, and I don't like it at all.

I agree, I'm a huge fan of google.

I have gmail (switched from hotmail about one year after gmail was introduced, back when it was still private invite)

While I think that I'll still use google, and gmail as my primary internet hub, I have to admit that bing looks like a major improvement over Live, which was a major improvement over msn search. I'm not entirely sure what advantages this gives over google in terms of searching, but from what I've seen it's very simple to use, clean, and VERY fast, Live was sometimes rather slow, but I haven't seen any lagging in this... That could just be the lack of sleep going to my brain however.

Also, when it comes to satelite images (google still has better directions) Live, and I suppose now Bing, has some pretty cool fly overs, which offers some cool vantage points. When I want to find satelite images of something, I now use both Live and Google maps. Just my 2 cents

I should stop procrastinating my English essay is what I should be doing....
