Man, I am dying laughing at the source code.
Check out the DD_belatedPNG.js that they are using...Man, the commented code is killing me.
In example: "
/*
PLEASE READ:
Absolutely everything in this script is SILLY. I know this. IE's rendering of certain pixels doesn't make sense, so neither does this code!
*/"Really surprises me that M$oft is using this.

@ukit: It's on this page -- http://www.decisionengine.com/De…
View Source, bottom of the page, "src="DD_belatedPNG.js", or just navigate straight to http://www.decisionengine.com/DD…
There are some seriously funny anti-IE/M$oft comments in that code, and I'm really surprised that they used those scripts with the comments the way they are.

there's just no follow through. It's like they have Da Vinci syndrome when it comes to their products. They themselves are bored with them by the time theyre being showcased to the public. There's never any compound interest formed - it's like they just move on to the next thing the second their results aren't amazing.

Yeah exactly. It's like,
"Alright, nice job guys. We launched a mediocre rip off of someone else's idea that got lukewarm reviews. Everyone give yourself a pat on the back. We're shutting this project down now..."

And if they get it wrong (remember the first Xbox?) they just throw a few more million at it until they get it right (new Xbox). I wonder how many more Zunes will come out until they even start to get it right.
- if by get it right you mean lose millions for a joint 2nd place********

Well if bing is able to grab and display sections of a website and categorize all the information within for every result instead of the usual simple header description or the first few lines of a webpage... that certainly looks like an improvement to me.
