Google

I agree Google over bing for sure.

Did you try the "blind taste test" link above?

I chose Google 5 out of 5 times...

Yes and I have tried bing several times and Google always gets information I need quicker.

I just tried that link on my tablet and it told me that my computer wasn't supported to use bing maps... Maps are not very useful to me if I can't use them on my mobile devices...

I think it is a bad link, on my computer(windows) its coming up as a map but saying it's unable to load the selected map app.

So Gary is making Microsoft look bad?

I chose Google 3-1-1.
Bing tends to come up with a ton of ehow and ask.com results for stuff, plus the Bing maps on my phone makes me extrememly angry.

this is what you'd see if the link loaded properly

Google. The OneBox results (see http://lifehacker.com/5940946/20-google-search-shortcuts-to-hone-your-google+fu) make a huge difference for calculations, driving directions, etc.

I guess it's not surprising Microsoft doesn't support alternative OSs...

I hate that Google Maps won't run on my WIndows phone.

I prefer Google, but as a result of their privacy policies, have been using others where I can.

Many, many moons ago, when Yahoo and Altavista were the major search players, I used Dogpile, since it compiled search results from all the engines. After this comparo, I was curious to see if they were still around. Turns out, they are! So I tried one of the test search phrases I used on the Bing/Google test, "thigh high boots" and found a great example of "everthing's on the web"- www.discountstripper.com

Seriously.

I refuse to install Microsoft Silverlight....

I suppose not, but it doesn't help their push to make Bing appear more popular..

I hate that Google Maps won't run on my WIndows phone.

Yet another reason I won't be switching to a Windows Phone any time soon.
