@nolabar10der: The spartan, utilitarian nature of Google is why I prefer Bing.
@Earth KING: Yahoo will still be responsible for the user experience, even though the results are from Bing
I'm trying to figure out why everyone gets a Google Voice App but Windows Mobile. If the hardware variety is a problem, just make it for VGA touchscreen smartphones.
@Kyang: Hadn't thought of this. On Windows 7 we're going to want title bar space to make use of Aero snap. I already have a tricky time with Chrome

Of choice? Bing. Of convenience when choice isn't so easy like when I'm on Chrome or Opera Mobile or the Wii? Google.
@Webran61: I do believe Ballmer hinted at free ad-supported versions alongside subscriber-based versions
"iPhone, Kindle, Android, and Palm Pre devices"
-childish looks: skinnable, plus I don't see what part of it is supposed to appeal to kids
HighSign is the new new
