Default Bing; Anyone used it?

I have been using Bing the last couple of days and it seems to be working pretty well for the most part. I am not sure how you extensively test out a search engine but whatever I am looking for Bing brings it up. The layout and such is pretty slick. It auto playing a portion of any video you are looking for is sweet but chances are its going to get pulled, as it is a really long reach in terms of fair use.

Haven't tried it yet but I was watching the 'Bingathon' they had live on Hulu a few nights ago with a bunch of B-List celebrities, because it was hosted by Olivia Munn.

yahoo search will be fazed out and merged to bing shortly. its ok... but there's nothing about it that makes me want to switch all my quick launch links to google.

ive tried a few times because it was my default engine for the rare occasions i use IE8. it does a honorable job of providing results that are relevant. i also like the fact it gives suggestions for similar sites ex. is when i search anandtech, it suggests hardocp, madshrimps and some other tech sites.

also, if you havent tried bing cashback, you should! i bought two northface jackets for 70 bucks when it was double cashback and at retail stores they were about $65 a piece.

After using Bing for a month or so solid, Google seems very dated. I would not be surprised to see Google follow in Microsofts footsteps in adding more features and such. Bing offers a richer experience in my opinion.
