I still don't like bings search results. Unless they come up with a way to show results in a more structured manner. I'll stick with google until someone comes along with a better way to get the results I want.

I think even if bing did it better it would still take a lot for the average computer user to change. Just look at how my IE users there still are even though firefox, chrome and so on do it so much better.
