New Rival To Google

Bing is as good as Google...only thing MS needs to know is how to make people change from "google for it!" to "bing for it!"
Image, video searches of Bing is far superior than google..and web search is good with even a preview on hover feature!

Mr.Anirban is right.For Microsoft to give competition to google in web search is a daunting task and as anirban said web searching and google has becone synonyms to each other.People without giving a second thought turn to google to find out answer to their queries and it will be very difficult for any search engine to give competition to google.

It is quite hard to destabilize google from the search engine market, unless google does something to destbilize themselves? Think of companies who will remain little reluctant to invest in a neophyte? Search engine and google almost became synonimous with terms like googling already in the market.

From what I've seen of this engine, I can say that it is fast. How accurate it's findings are have to be seen. However, according to the descriptions that are given of the features, it seems to me that this engine will be more product-based wheras Google is more knowledge-oriented. Since that would mean that they target different audiences, they will NOT be rivals. 

This is good as there will be more competition and this will do more good for users as they have many options to get quality content on the net....

Let's just see hey?

its can be other option for Google but no replacement ..  and as Mr shaju  said healthy improvement will always lead to improvement..
nice sharing.................thanks

Healthy competitions will always lead to improvement and better outputs.. Hope this also will

I agree with Aditya. In anycase, Google is addressing a service and Microsoft originally a product based company. It is difficult for MS to focus as much as Google can. No matter whatever MS does, its hard at this stage to destabilise Google.

Instead of killing each other's market like this, it would be good to cooperate with each other and come up with much more useful services or products.

This looks interesting ... what google has done to break the dominance of microsoft(MS) is, it changed the game rules of technology platform. To start with google search and then slowly getting in to mail , messanger and related technologies where microsift had dominance. Google kept its dominance at search where its the best and MS just kept with its own ways of doing things.This helped them expanding user base.
MS thought of breaking in to hand held music players (mp3 players) with Zune, but there it got to fight with Apple, the name which is the best at what it produces ( e.g. iPod, iPhone). Even today there is no thing best than iPhone UI and seems MS has kept the idea of getting in to mobile devices.
What Ms really lacked in both the cases above is superior technology backbone. Guess this is what MS is understanding now a days.

Going by the features mentioned above, NO.
