Great Product By Microsoft
TheMightyCraken- Pros
- Its really snappy and enables me to get points only by searching.
- Cons
- Its a bit oldish, not Windows 8 friendly yet.
- Summary
The official microsoft browser toolbar.
weegee2899- Pros
- I haven't really tried it, but it is by microsoft so it is safe.
- Cons
- Like I said, haven't tried the toolbar.
- Summary
- Do not download it here! It says installer enabled! Download it from microsoft!
Not of any use.
Bingsucks- Pros
- None. None. None.
- Cons
- Obnoxious. Interferes with my email.
- Summary
- Don't get Bing. If it infiltrates your computer get rid of it.
Good on IE,I like it but does not install on Firefox
Musa Isiyaku- Pros
- Very Good and a pick for all
- Cons
- It does not install on Firefox
- Summary
- bingbar has almost everything I needed for fast information especially with regards to my mails, weather report, Facebook and news. Can I get the one that works on Firefox also.
Had it, lost it, can't get it back
mphmcm- Pros
- Liked the features used it on both windows xp and 7
- Cons
- Lost it on windows 7. Tryed everything microsoft suggested to get it back to no avail.
- Summary
It's OK. I guess I'm stuck with it.
pagarymac- Pros
- Can't say anything positive because I am still peeved that this version was foisted on me.
- Cons
- Does not have the sophisticated look and feel of the previous version. I hate the search bar being in the middle.
- Summary
- I had the update for V7 supressed because I preferred V6. And still one day the update was somehow sneakily foisted on me against my desires. Whatever benefit this new version provides should have been incorporated within the much better operational and visual esthetics of V6. Boo to BING.
B/ Bar is good when it comes to getting quick results.
etibeleirbag- Pros
- I think i like the features in 7.0.609.0 Bing Bar, although i needed more time before making fair statement.
- Cons
- If Bing Bar can only function with Internet Explorer browser, it means that the benefits of your technology will not be fully put to use.
- Summary
An excellent toolbar for IE
iwillneverstop- Pros
- -Integrated very well with many MS services such as Bing, Maps, Movie, News, Games -Support getting mails from yahoo mail. google mail, hotmails -Facebook integration ... and many other cool features
- Cons
- None, I've not found yet.
- Summary
- Just try it and spend sometime playing with it, you will be satisfied. Never "Just install and see only".
Never install toolbars!
Manix820- Pros
- None! Its a toolbar!
- Cons
- Everything! Do not, under any circumstance, install Toolbars! They are useless, typically contain spyware, and bog up the system.
- Summary
- Just dont install toolbars!
BING SUCKS
rinnie1- Pros
- NONE. There is NOTHING worthwhile about this product.
- Cons
- What it returns does NOT make any sense at all. It presents the least relevant stuff first, and the remotely relevant items are buried. If you like Google, you will LOATHE Bing. It horns in and takes over without your permission on other products...
- Summary
- TOTAL WASTE of time to use Bing. TOTAL WASTE of computer space to even install the search bar. If it were living, I'd say it uses too much oxygen. My only wish is that there were a way to give it a NEGATIVE FIVE rating.
