This is just really pathetic.

They have to give away free stuff just to get people to use their search engine, and it probably still won't make a dent in Google's dominance.

*looks @ sig*
Oh boy.. *facepalm*

It's not at all "pathetic" it's the realization that Google owns the market and unless you've got something to make people at least look at your engine you'll just be wasting your time.

Oh, I have nothing against Microsoft. I use Windows XP and Windows 7 and love both, I think Microsoft Office is better than any other office suite, and I am a fan of the 360; I just don't own one.

I also acknowledge that Bing is complete crap which lacks half the functionality and all of the finesse of Google.

US only MS pts? Boo. Are there any prizes that they have that can be used by Canadians? Amazon.ca Gift card codes would be nice. I used swagbucks to get a couple $5 Amazon.ca gift cards (I barely use swagbucks though. I should use it more often).

I like them when they are like this! Free stuff makes me happy.

Bing works fine for me, I use it over google all the time; curious on what functionality and finesse it lacks as a serach engine. Nothing pathetic about the rewards. Offer something the competitors don't and try to take some of their business. Plus I get it all free.

This has been going on since September; they usually have some searches for bonus points every week. Got over 1200pts from it so far.

I'm going to look into this; see if I even can do it on this machine, since this thing seems to have an aversion to MS stuff...

Is it made by Apple or Sony? If it is then I think we all know what the problem might be

I also use Bing and Google interchangebly. For me, I hardly see any difference in the search result. But I use Bing most of the time because I want to see the daily picture.
