I've found myself using bing more and more for searches, for a few reasons. (nothing to do with the cited link).
-Sometimes I will type a query into google, it will switch to showing the results, and then the results dissapear and I'm left with a blank page. Clicking the search button does nothing (presumably because doing so without changing the query is a no-op). if I change the query I can get it to search again, and if I refresh the page that works too, but I find myself fighting with google just to show results more and more often, so on a few occasions I grew sick of it and navigated to another search engine, usually bing.
-I often find what I'm looking for a lot faster.
This surprised me some of the first times. This can be particularly and not surprisingly observed when searching for information on Microsoft stuff. (MSDN blogs, posts, technical articles, etc.), but applies to quite a number of queries I've done in both engines; the item that I eventually found to be relevant to my interests was often listed higher in the bing results than the google results.
The only downside I've found is that the main landing page is a bit heavier than google's, but at the same time I don't have to fight with it to get it to show results properly. And results are often displayed faster.
Also, I think part of the reason for the second point, might be because MS doesn't seem to have a facility for "sponsored" links; search for some things on google and sometimes the first few results are anything but relevant, because the people responsible for the site basically paid for a higher search rank. Of course you can always just scroll past those, but there isn't always an indication where the paid results end and the actual results that were found for your query begin. It seems to be able to filter out parked domains, or at least makes an effort to do so.
Most of the query syntax is the same and it has the same useful features like site:blah.com <query> AND,OR, etc so google-fu is pretty much equivalent to bing-fu.
