I'm so used to google that it is very obvious which is which based on the layout of the links. Also got 4 google and 1 draw choosing by what seemed better and not because I already knew which was google.

My search terms were

stepmaniaonline
izzydata
bakabt
mega
nyaa

I don't get it... The site doesn't work, it just instantly redirects to Bing.

Aha, apparently it doesn't like Canada. Welp.

It's probably just restricted to the US, I tried from an american IP and it let me in.

Instantly links to Bing. Also in Canada and also logged into hotmail. Maybe that has something to do with it? I don't even use Bing.

The reason why it links to Bing is because it's a marketing campaign by Microsoft. Doesn't really have to do with Hotmail.

Also, they claim that 2:1 users have preferred Bing over Google, but I'm sure they pulled those numbers out of thin air. Seeing that 4/5 users chose Google as the winner in this thread (and last one is a tie) says something.

Or what about image or video search ? Because I get way better results in Google than Bing.

Yeah, i noticed that as well. I also feel like google gives you more information per site when you search something.

The results for both sides were 99% the same, so I was a tie 5 out of 5. Guess it doesn't matter for me. Of course, it told me to retry so I'd get Bing. ;/

1. Eczema (health issue) - Google
2. video game music (music search) - Google
3. porn (porn, duh) - Bing (Syhto is correct)
4. Kingdom Hearts 3 (Video game info) - Bing
5. The best ever layoff letter (fact check/chain e-mail search) - Google
