3. They're attempting to junk up search with ads, while still being
...clean and effective.

Good luck.

My money stays with Google.

6. Tried it last night
I saw the ads for the predictive airfare search and we're planning a trip to Mexico this winter. Did a search on Bing and it didn't look or work anything like the ad shows. I'll stick with Kayak and Sidestep.

7. My personal opinion of 'bing' is less than complimentary.
In fact, the word 'useless' comes to mind. And, I don't even use it as a search engine. But, sometimes, I'll click on a link and it takes me to that useless piece of bit waste.
