If you were surprised to learn the results of Microsoft's "Bing it On challenge" in which reportedly people in blind tests preferred Bing's results two to one over Google's, you're not alone. A professor at Yale Law School was suspicious of these claims, too. Suspicious enough that he and his students set up another blind test and surprise! People strongly preferred Google results. In fact, the results were so clear that many people feel that Google has grounds for a lawsuit against Microsoft.
Ouch, Bing! Maybe instead of lying to people, you should work at improving your search function.
