I've been using Bing as my browser default since it came out. By and large, it's on a par with Google for most queries. I do find myself going back and forth from Google search for programming questions because of the Google groups search and blog search. The Python and Django Google groups are very active, and quite helpful. I also have found a number of links to content on programming questions via Bing that I wouldn't have found using Google alone. So, I find myself using both search engines quite a bit. I've been planning some recent travel and the airfare search on Bing was excellent. Up until recently, Kayak was my primary airfare comparison site, but Bing's tools won big for me. They felt a faster and more responsive. You can also get airfare trend graphs and get "buy now prices increasing" or "buy later, prices decreasing" recommendations. Bing is now my primary airfare search tool. Either way, it's great that Google is getting a little pressure to compete in search. It's been the defacto monopoly for several years, and that's bound to cause some stagnation. I think the competition is going to make search better all the way around, and it's that reason that I'm going to keep Bing as my browser default.
