SHOWCASE: Microsoft is set to unveil Bing.com fully on June 3 - its latest incarnation of what the next landscape of search should be. While the company prefers to classify the Bing service as a ‘decision engine’, the intention is to position it as ‘not just another search engine’. See here for a quick video ad on what Bing is about.

Here’s a quick video explaining the philosophy behind Microsoft’s Bing. This video requires Silverlight which you can download here.
