    Monday, June 1st, 2009

    Yes. Microsoft launches Bing – http://www.bing.com search engine before its release date which was supposed to be June 3rd.

    Microsoft has done it :

    The software giant has come up with a top notch product this time which seems to be a tough competition to Google.com search engine as far as the results are concerned.

    The search engine is still is in its beta stage and output that is shown on the Bing.com results pages seem to be different from that shown on the US Bing.com search engine at http://www.bing.com/?scope=web&setmkt=en-US

    See the differences in 2 images. First is the US Bing.com which has buttons for shopping and is out of the beta stage. It also shows ads and results that are different from the normal Bing.com which still shows that it is in Beta stage.
