By the way, what will make YOU switch SEs?
Good points, bobitza.

I'm generally a loyal consumer, all things being equal. But if Bing, or any other SE, can provide me with better results in my searches, I'm open to switching. Since I'm pretty comfortable with Google now, it'd take some noticeable differences to get me to move, though.
