Bing Search Tainted By Pro-Microsoft Results
bdcny7927 writes "Just as Bing is gaining popularity, some disturbingly pro-Microsoft and anti-Apple search results are rearing their ugly heads. Case in point: a search on Bing for the phrase, 'Why is Windows so expensive?' returned this as the top link: 'Why are Macs so expensive.' That's right. You're not hallucinating."
my first result for the same phrase: http://blogs.technet.com/gerhardg/archive/2006/10/12/why-is-oss-commercial-software-so-expensive.aspx (I'm in Germany).
>>>Bing is just the fox news of search engines. That's good! If Bing was the CNN or MSNBC of search engines, then virtually every search would lead to the National Socialists website. The CNN/NBC reporters love their "Big Daddy"* government, and their stories are all biased to the assumption we need more government. * *That's a Tennessee Williams reference.

can someone build a "friends list" of conservative retards like commodore64_love so we don't have to read their crap?
This isn't malicious. It's just that Macs are more expensive than Windows. For one thing Macs are a computer with an OS, while Windows is just an OS. Moreover Apple charges premium prices for the hardware to run their OS. Macs are more expensive. They are better, but they are more expensive. If you're brave enough to try linux, then you just pay for hardware and get everything worthwhile Mac has to offer.
