Two positive assessments of Bing. Google is my main search engine, but I use Bing's image search preferentially now since the UI seems less kludgey.

I tried Bing and found it useless. I will admit to being a black belt in google, so I am a bit biased. But I tried with an open mind for a few searches, and when I could not even come close to anything that matched my search fields, I gave up. Now I await the google OS.

I think nothing can attack google right now. By far it's the best search engine and it's popularity is unbeatable.

Give Bing's Maps a try. Their Bird's eye actually is often more useful than Google's street view.
