Well, let's see...
Google has provided simple and to the point search for years now.
And I love Google for it.
But, when I need details and those details delivered instantly without me needing to reload the pages and move on to next page and next page and on and on (yes, I'm talking about image search), I'm gonna turn to someone who provides me all I need on a single page.
And so far, after playing with Bing for 5 minutes, I can tell it's far more superior (in terms of delivering content *I need* and the way *I need* it fast).
Image search - filtering process works on the page, instantly. Ability to resize the result view (from small thumbs to large thumbs with details). Most significantly - the scrolling just loads more images... so there's no need for clicking "next page" ever again!
Maps - bird's view. End of story. Sure as hell beats the aerial/satellite image view.
Travel - ability to filter out the results right on the page, again, dynamically, without having to go to a ton of other sites looking for that information (as it DOES query all the cheapest results from all over the place)...
And so on, and so on...
Man, might be time to change my homepage to bing instead of google, as it's got everything that google has and then adds some sweet *bing* to it.

Considering many of those features have been part of Live for a while I think this relaunch and rebranding is doing exactly what Microsoft intended. I'm weird so I try stuff every now and then just to see if I still don't like it(as of today I still hate regular Fanta). When I began using different searches again a few months ago, I was reminded of how stagnant Google has been and that they hadn't made a significant interface or presentation update. I also realized that they were in fact behind several searches in many categories. Every other browser I use had Live or Google as the default(and a few others a click away) as a result. I even had Live as the default search for Chrome on one computer.
