Microsoft gets something right! Well, maybe.

In general, about two thirds of what google sends you in response to product or service searches is worse than useless in that it wastes your time even in rejecting it for consideration. Try, for example, finding carriage bolts or granite paving stones in your neighborhood.

In contrast, the same search carried out on Microsoft’s bing site produced only a claimed 843 hits, but nine of the first ten had real value in terms of chasing down the product.
