Wow, Microsoft has completely NOT fucked things up lately. In fact, they've been doing an amazing job. Major props MS, can't wait to see what you come up with next.
@BlackedOut Have you checked out Pivot (from Microsoft labs)? It's still early in development, but really, really sick new way at looking at massive amounts of data. It basically categorizes massive search fields into small sections making it easy to look at stuff. Pretty neat stuff IMO.
I agree with you on the video and images but no way is the search on par with Google. Side by side windows using Bing and Google always brings at least 50% more relevant search results with Google.
Live was horrible, i think Bing is great, but search needs work.
For those looking for a device strictly for reading, the new Kobo is a nice little option. It's small enough to slip into a pocket, can do more with a PDF than the competition, and at $129, it's $10 cheaper than both the Nook and Kindle WiFi.

Couldn't have said it better myself.
Only thing they need now is a decent search engine and browser to achieve world domination.

@BlackedOut Have you used Bing lately? It is in no way reminiscent of Live or MSN.
The image and video searches are both miles above Google's, and I'd call the regular search "on par" with Google.
@MioTheGreat, and has Unicode indexing.
