Mashable had this to say about Bing and why you should switch.
My personal favourite is number 3. But you make up your mind.

One of my daily morning routine habits is to …get a coffee…turn on the computer…launch my IE browser and just sit there an admire the daily image that Bing displays.
They are just spectacular images..I mean…look at these butterflies..or the face of that green turtle! Just brilliant.
Long Zheng has managed to collate all images from many country Bing sites into one collection…great job. Check it out here.
Here is a feature I would like to see (in fact I did suggest it to the product teams), is to be able to right click on the image and make it your Win7 wall paper for the day. There might be some copyright issue, but that would be one feature I would turn on!

Not that I am endorsing anyone to do what this guys wants to do…
I actually know guys like this!
I love these series…
thanks to Steve Clayton for the refer

bing announced today! You will get it in about a week. Here is a video for you http://www.decisionengine.com/Default.html
Here are some screen shots I took today:

My MSFT UK colleague Steve Clayton did a fine review of the new Dell Adamo laptop.
I had a look at this beauty the other day but never got to actually play with it well enough to review it. The design is tremendous, really challenging the Mac and even the Sony (who I am a huge fan off). I am hoping my friends at Dell might loan me one to spec out with the new Windows 7 RC :-) but in the meantime you can read what Steve had to say about it.

I am glad companies like Dell are making “sexy” designs and putting real effort in differentiating themselves. Good stuff DELL!

You might have seen the latest ads by Microsoft showing the value (financial) of a Windows PC vs the Mac. Infact these series of ads are meant to show the true impact of what you are paying for when purchasing a new PC.
Have a look at the video and read on
So, is Lauren right in buying her HP Pavilion vs a Mac from an economical perspective. Lets have a look at the specs. :

No kidding she did! That is $2000 difference to be cool.
My view is that there is nothing cool about being ripped off!
