I am not surprised by this rigged stat.  If you updated your OS with the new IE8 then you got bing automagicaly, no opt out  and no warning. How many ppl will be bothered to change it? Not many. Witness IE's lock on the browser market. I am PISSED, though it didnt take me long to get rid of it.  M$ is up to their old tricks again  s

I use bing all the time.  Bings page always has something interesting on it.  Plus the search results aren't filled with a bunch of jibba jabba.  Also, it is far better for doing actual research for college and such. I haven't used google in a long time and I really don't miss it.

Why do you guys keep posting this crap about Bing? I have never seen it in my stats.

On my site of around 10M visits oer year Bing visits actually fell -6.12% in June compared to May. While Google increased .45% during the same period.

Bing has taken a crapload of traffic away from Yahoo (are they dead yet... no? they will be soon). But Goolge is still increasing it's percentage. Bing has taken nothing away from them on my site.

If bing! had the "news-blocks" like Yahoo! does on its front page, I'd probably switch my homepage and search engine to  them. Unfortunately, I'm still waiting for them to make that move. Even so, I like bing! It seems to do a good job of getting me the results I want quickly and efficiently. As long as it's anything but Google....
