called LiveSearch. Interestingly, the definition of "bing" from dictionary.com is "a heap or pile".
I'd like to ask MS, bing is a heaping pile of what, exactly?

You don't think for a minute that Google didn't go through those exact results and set "best" results? I am sure google has a professional set of cleaners that do nothing but fix the results for terms used by competitors.

What I am finding for Bing is mostly that nobody has figured out how to specifically spam it yet, so the results are actually normal. Give it a few weeks, let the spammers get to work, and I am sure their results will be as crappy and virus filled as everyone elses are.
