ESSENTIAL READING

A blogger named Rod Holmes wonders if Microsoft is censoring searches. He asks Bing "is Microsoft Evil?" He sees this (I tried the same search and it now looks different):

"Then I turned to Bing and was dumbfounded. For the first time in my playing with this topic, Bing returned a news story in the number one position. And…the story was about Google, “How Good (or Not Evil) Is Google?” from the New York Times. The second news listing talks about the pros and cons of proxy servers?? And, the third news item is about Microsoft giving away money. Hmmm…. After that Bing does dish up the dirt with a link to www.microsoftisevil.com, but they quickly shift to focusing on how Microsoft is killing evil software bugs."

I surmise Google's search will stay superior, since the brand is built around that engine, unlike Microsoft, who's legacy remains a for-beginners OS.
