New Microsoft Bing design went live and blends great with Windows 8

Have you been using Bing lately? If you haven’t now it is a good time to check the new design that just went live on Thursday in the U.S — for now. The new revamped Bing features a new layout that you’ll find really similar to a Metro style app in Windows 8, which includes, search results, snapshots, and a social sidebar. The three panels design on Bing were built to integrate results with social, something that the company calls “friends know”, which will be based on a variety of social networks including Facebook and Twitter.

New Bing search results page

“According to a recent internal survey, nearly 75 % of people spend more time than they would like searching for information online. With Bing’s new design, you can access information from the Web including friends you do know and relevant experts that you may not know letting you spend less time searching and more time doing.”

Even though Microsoft still have a hard time trying to gain some market share from Google, the software giant is pushing his own innovation providing something different to the traditional search. The new design on Bing looks more than great; it works as a solid product and all the new features are very useful. For the moment it is only available in United States, though this is not going to stop anyone who wants to a look at it, just change your region settings and the new UI will be revealed to you. When the new look will be available worldwide? That is yet to be announced.

    Does anyone know what Windows 8 Media Center will look like or how it will work?

    • Pit

      Windows Media Center looks exactly the same as the version in Windows 7, because Microsoft hasn’t updated anything on MCE.
      Knowing this it is more than likely that Windows Media Center will go away in future versions of Windows.
      It will be sad, but there are not too many people using it.

      Thanks,

        Thanks. It doesn’t make sense because RT occupies a similar electronic footprint as iOS, Android, and those proprietary OS on smart TVs. A small box powered by WinRT could compete with AppleTV and Roku… in my dreams!

          What I also should said is that I don’t believe Microsoft is worry about Media Center, because the Xbox 360 is your new set top box for your TV.
          You can do music, video, gaming and in some regions you can even what live TV.
          The Xbox ultimately will be the main entertainment hub in your house.

          Thanks,
