As long as the competition is healthy and both companies try to outsmart the other, we the consumer/user can rejoice and can expect better search results from both or atleast from one of them.
I don’t really think Bing.com is that favored. They just got a lot of attention and everybody tried out the new search engine. That’s why their market-share increased.
Everybody already found out the search engine og Bing is not as amazing as Microsoft marketed it. Market share will definitely drop!
Bing is worth uing, i liked its background, really awesome.

Most people dont know about bing in nations like india and china.
microsoft needs lot of effort to penetrate in search enigine market.
I like the way Bing’s making progress. It’s great to have more options in the market to choose from. As long as there is healthy competition as rightly pointed out by Prasannan, we can hope to get better search results in the future.
