Hey Bobitza, I found your post really interesting about capitalizing on "new users". But realisticly, how many "new users" can Bing really leverage on? This is a debatable point, I just personally don't see it as a gateway to success for Bing. I think their primary focus is on "coverting" users of different SEs to Bing.

Also, in regards to avera's post, this is an excellent point that you have brought up with Live messenger and their hotmail network. But you have to remember that Google has arguably one of the best email services in the market to date, GMail. And on top of this, Google's foundation has done such an excellent job at establishing a loyal customer base that a SIGNIFICANT portion of both Hotmail and Windows Live users, still perfer Google as their primary SE.

Both of you bring up excellent points though! It'll be interesting to see what Bing can really do, and if it does get to the point where Google may feel slightly threatened, I'd love to see what they'll do to counter it.
