As a sysadmin for a small business who just loaded up on Office365 Pro Plus, this is good news.

So maybe that wasn't such a great idea ... PING!

You can find all the Windows Ping list threads with FR search: just search on keyword "windowspinglist".

Wow...”integrates web search with results from internal business data stored in Office 365.”

Just what I want...Microsoft deciding how to “integrate” web search results with my own private business data stored in MS products. As if I trust them to do that.

bing can’t find its way out of a one door room.

I like the Bing daily wallpaper images on their homepage, but their leftist news headlines are off putting. In the address bar, my default search engine is Duck Duck go. I keep the Bing search bar on the homepage in case I am looking for a different result, particularly images.

I use Bing and feel it is not as politically biased as google search. I use Bing for 90% of searches and resort to google for the really tough ones.

Microsoft has U-turned on plans to automatically switch browser search defaults to Bing when users install Office 365 Pro Plus.

I can't believe anyone at Microsoft ever thought this was a good idea - if there's one thing guaranteed to infuriate enterprise IT departments, it's the promise of thousands of their corporate users filing support tickets over jack-assery like this.

[Erik Latranyi]

It is a good move by Microsoft.

I enjoy and use Bing as my default browser on both PC and mobile, but Office 365 should not automatically switch without asking.

[SueRae]

I actually like Bing...better pictures.

But DuckDuck go is my search engine

[circlecity]

The absolute first thing I do with a new browser or new computer is set the default search engine to Duck Duck Go.

When are they also going to stop shoving Bing and Edge down the throat of every Windows 10 user?

[Bruce Campbells Chin]

I hate bing. It’s searches always show me a lot more graphical content, and fewer words/entries, and I hate that. I know how to freaking read.

I’m staying w/ Office 2007 on Win-7 Pro x64. Office 365 wanted to take over my computer, so I uninstalled it.

[cuban leaf]

I use it instead of Google, except I use google maps.

[JimRed]

Wassamadda wid BING? I’ve used it since I stopped Googling.

[dfwgator]

[Still Thinking]

Those guys seem to be able to generate a reason a day to be glad (no, ecstatic) I didn’t buy into their Orifice365 cloud “service”. If I had it I’d be feeling serviced about now, but not in a good way.

As this very thread demonstrates, freedom of choice is a wonderful thing because hey, different people like different things! What a concept! Ya got that, Microsoft?
