<\/p>\nQuite a while ago, I switched from using Internet Explorer to Google Chrome as my default browser of choice. I just got tired of IE being slow and crashing. That switch has worked out pretty well. In fact where it\u2019s most noticeable is when logging into services like Microsoft Connect where IE can get it\u2019s knickers into a twist and refuses to let you log in because of \u201csite problems\u201d. It\u2019s kind of ironic that I don\u2019t get that with Chrome on a Microsoft site <\/p>\n
Yeah, yeah, I\u2019m an MVP and I work in a Microsoft centric world \u2026 but I also want to use a dependable tool \u2026 and MVPs are defined as being independent<\/em> experts \u2013 my advice is worthless if I just tout the \u201ccompany line\u201d and I don\u2019t actually work for \u201cthe company\u201d.<\/p>\n I have been using Google as my default page and search engine since I first became aware of the service. I decided to switch to Bing a couple of months ago. Yeah \u2026 Bing is my default site and search engine on Chrome! For the most part, it\u2019s fine. But there are times when I\u2019m after something precise when it fails me, and I have to switch to Google to get the result I want. I\u2019d say I\u2019m about 80% confident in Bing where I\u2019d be 90% confident in Google.<\/p>\n When in the USA for the MVP Summit the Curse of Zune (things that work one way or are available in the USA, and aren\u2019t available or work differently outside of the USA) that Bing suffers from was very noticeable. Bing in the USA is a completely different creature than Bing from Ireland. I wish Microsoft would realise that the vast majority of customers reside outside<\/em> the 50 states, and realising this is how Google (search) and Apple (iTunes) have dominance in their respective fields.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Quite a while ago, I switched from using Internet Explorer to Google Chrome as my default browser of choice.
