Why Bing and not DuckDuckGo? It is an excellent search engine, in many cases it has much better search results, and it logs no IP addresses.

- Mark_B 17y agoProbably because your average guy or gal (the people Ubuntu would want to reach out to the most) have ever even heard of it.
- puffythefish 17y agoIt's not like they've heard of Bing either. And, isn't that the point?
- sangaya 17y agoMaybe it's just the Chicago market, but I can't make a single trip in my car without hearing a Bing radio ad. I'm pretty sure they're laying out a fair amount of marketing cash. As another statistically irrelevant point, my mom who believes doing anything on the computer is "downloading" has started using Bing.
- eli 17y agoNo... because DuckDuckGo can't afford to pay them. The announcement omits the part that Google is paying them for the spot on default search.
