The search results look strikingly similar to Google and the fancy imagery doesn't really do much for me. I tried out Bing but was pretty unimpressed.

I'm always interested in new or tweaked search engines to see what results and extra features they may provide. I did already try it out before this commercial though :P I would have still tried it.

I was curious what deal Bing will give me, but returned me results starting from $150. Probably made a right decision but not for customer. It made it for seller!

But the other one, where one person asks a question and the person standing next to them starts shouting random phrases containing the words the first person had used in his original question, that ad is effective. I think that illustrates exactly how Google is "broken," at least as far as MS wants you to believe it is. Granted, it has yet to be seen if a Bing search for "Chocolate Candy" will eventually turn up results for exotic dancers. Yeah, this commercial was a bit inane.
