So much so, (and moreso than say, “Internet Explorer” ever meant to browsers, or Windows ever meant to PCs) that I wonder how many folks are actually going to give Bing a try.  Notwithstanding the opinions of reputable technology publications like the New York Daily Post, how much of an uphill climb is Bing’s marketing approach going to be when you’re trying to penetrate some fairly hardened assumptions?  And what about Geeks?

Personally some part of it for me is the simple disdain that Microsoft != “cool” (Xbox and its intellectual properties excluded, naturally), and that Microsoft could never really touch the sainted toe lint of Google.  And if that isn’t a touch of Google fanboy-ism I dont’ know what is.

Maybe that’s true.  It probably isn’t.  To that end, I’m going to try and make Bing my default search tool for a couple weeks to try it out.  Who knows?  The last time I tried making anything my default [whatever] I ended up switching out of Firefox right into Chrome.
