This update is a LOT more than just bing music purchases. you can see music lyrics (without going to google and getting spyware from those websites it gives you)

you can play games without leaving bing (http://www.bing.com/games/online/gb/bing/bjewld/default/en-us) this means, again, not having cookies and other sketchy stuff from some websites.

now, this may not seem like a big deal at first glance, but the simplicity of this upgrade has a big meaning for all microsoft devices, especially windows phone 7. Considering every windows phone has a bing button on them, this is an incredible leap for simplicity in phones. want to play a game? press bing button, search game, play.

No need to download an app, and all at your fingertips. Im excited to see what other applications bing can integrate into itself.]]>Jun 23rd 2010 4:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/Jun 23rd 2010 4:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/I am impressed.

this is why I use bing more than google. the days of "zomg simplicity" and a "list of 10 blue links" are over.

applications will be inside bing, and im excited for what is possible.

Gee maybe that's because most people do Searching in Browser Search bars and not ACTUAL WEBSITES now?

Whatever Bing's doing, great, good job, it will be a totally cluttered mess. Gee.. so, iTunes Store vs.. Online Stores...

We haven't seen this befo.. oh... yeah, that was pretty ghastly...

Even people who use search bars end up in the same result page, and don't even try and tell me that Bing is any more cluttered then Google these days.]]>Jun 23rd 2010 4:51AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/
how is bing "cluttered" when google just completed their copied interface with a bunch of redundant search options on the left. gee i can search "images" on the left and on the top! that isnt redundant and useless clutter at all!]]>Jun 23rd 2010 4:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/The two buttons do different things.

How is Bing's sidebar the more useful? Google's lets me view more refined results depending on e.g. images or trending twitter topics, while Bing suggests a search for... Gizmodo, a link that's vaguely related but isn't actually what I'm interested in searching for.]]>Jun 23rd 2010 6:27AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/

"
The two buttons do different things. One returns images search results for your current query (left), the other takes you to images.google.com (top)."

wrong, they do the exact same thing, image results for the query. Have you ever actually tried it or did you just make up random crap?
here's a link since you need your hand held through this:

http://www.google.com/images?q=google

now click the top link

how is that not the same thing? they even highlighted the left bar in the same manner.]]>Jun 23rd 2010 8:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/
"How is Bing's sidebar the more useful"

bing's sidebar was just updated yesterday, and was converted to "tabs" under the search box. there is no "sidebar" anymore so im not sure what you mean, Youre comparing bing's "related searchs" to google's redundant filters. apples to oranges]]>Jun 23rd 2010 8:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/
Bravo, Microsoft. This looks totally usable and it's _web_ based!

I hope the folks in Mountain View are paying attention. And hopefully the folks in Cupertino will come along and "invent" this again soon!]]>Jun 23rd 2010 3:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/
except apple isnt in search, but they are into making you download games for $0.99 each since you dont have flash.

MS is now adding Bing to the 360 dash so many of these features like visual search, Bing TV, Bing Music, Bing Movies could make its way over.

Bing is okay. I don't use it much. The few times I have, I've gotten crap results compared to Google. But with this....I don't know...it's just calling me to the dark side.

Then again I don't JUST use a search engine for music..]]>Jun 23rd 2010 4:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/
this is more than a "music store" you can search all "tv" websites like hulu, and its all presented in a nice interface.

you can play games without going to a sketchy website. you can listen to songs without going to websites. you can get lyrics, movie reviews, and more.

you obviously hate anything microsoft does so this wont mean anything to you.]]>Jun 23rd 2010 4:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/Jun 23rd 2010 11:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/Jun 23rd 2010 4:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/Jun 23rd 2010 4:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/Jun 23rd 2010 4:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/http://www.engadget.com/2010/06/23/bing-entertainment-integrates-zune-marketplace-purchases-improv/

I don't recall reading that at the end.

Pretty soon I suspect. Music, books, news, movies, tv, games, info. It's sorta close to done now.

You kinda wonder what then. Some kind of crawling duke out as 3-5 big everythings trade interpretations of static randomly dodgy charts on who's winning this month.
