Internet explorer, no matter how many times I changed the default search, it always changed back to Bing after restarting Internet Explorer, so now I use Google chrome.

Also, in the MSN news feed, it will say "latest article: Osama Bin Laden is dead", I click it and it takes me straight into a Bing search...

Also, my new computers at school run a special version of Windows designed for schools, and the default search engine is convinently locked as Bing.

I don't think I need to mention the adverts, adverts already piss me off a tonne, the Bing adverts make me contemplate suicide.

And the most irritating thing is, was all this really necessary? Microsoft already make plenty of products, why do they need to put another one into an oversaturated market? The XBOX 360 was a smart move since SEGA was out of the picture, but crap like Bing and Zune really tarnish Microsoft's brand.

To each their own I guess.

Zune trashes microsoft brand only because it was a failure. The devices and the software, along with the prepaid service Zune offers are all really good.

As far as bing, I don't see what the problem is with having an alternative to google. I use Google myself (other than maps which Bing has better)...but if Bing can push google to get better, everybody wins.
