maybe it's just a coincidence, but isnt it strange how shortly after the CEO's of both Yahoo and Microsoft leave, that the two companies decide to make a partnership?

Not if you consider these companies had been having talks and preparing this partnership for months and months.

Google is still king, but competition is always good and Microsoft and Yahoo! certainly have the resources to mount some serious competition against them. Bing alone already shaked Google and made them copy Bing features ("Show options..." anyone?). Either way, it's a win-win situation for us users, if anything, Google will become even better.

BING IT ! is better than GOOGLE IT. in terms of catchy phase and after you haved it a few times you will see what "THINKING" Search engine can do for you it terms of real results and not some Romanian's car for sale
