First Look at Microsoft Bing

Microsoft Bing looks different with all the mushy stuff put in the homepage. The experience doesn't differ from that of a Windows Desktop experience.

The left side you can see the various search options available and these are: images, videos, shopping, news, maps, travel.

The background features a landscape scenery and mouse over shows various hotspots that show a tool tip on that particular area.

Missed some images? You can go back to various images shown by bing thru the button at the right-end side of the screen. While I appreciate the beauty of these sceneries, I would rather see a Kobe Bryant image dunking over Yao Ming. In other words, I want images based on my interest.

Anyways, the search results is similar to Live services with the left and right zones (see image below).

Bing Results

I still couldn't appreciate the search results and the results showing up on "SharePoint" keywords wasn't as good and comprehensive as that of Google. But I think these are absurd expectations at the moment.

The lack of quality results of Bing is compensated by it's soothing interface.
