    Four googles and a draw for me too. Hard to trust claims from a vendor testing its own product.

    Says "Microsoft" the guys who organised the test ??

    And oh, how convenient that M$ won by 2:1 in my "blind test"

    Sorry for having my cynical hat on today. Still not convinced.
    Cheers, David

    2 bings, 2 draws, 1 google. Moderately impressed, assuming the test is honest.

    3 Googles, 1 Bing, 1 Draw. In general the Bing results seem to be quite US centric compared to Google which seemed to do a better job of interpreting my searches compared to my location.

    4 Googles and 1 Draw, genuinely surprised, but as others have said, often the results seemed very US based. (not that google was that much better)

    I had a clean sweep for google i actually thought i was picking bing answers a couple of times and it turned out that i just prefer google results. Its getting closer though when i started using google there wasn't really any competition.

    2: Google, 2: Bing, 1: Draw. Think i'll stick with Google Microsoft! (The two Bing won on where both due to image search being a bit better with Bing)
