Bing Answers

Redmond Report readers are an awesome bunch. When I need help with a technical problem, answers fly my way. And if I'm writing a major story, your thoughts drive the entire process.

So here's a personal thanks to the many who wrote about your Bing experiences. My son David actually wrote the story and quotes about a dozen readers. It came out great, in my opinion. So I'd like you to take a look at the story, which was a close partnership between Dave and you, the Redmond Report reader.

As an added benefit, Dave also interviewed Stefan Weitz, Bing director, who explained the philosophy behind Bing.

How did Dave do on the article? What subject should Redmond mag tackle next? Ideas welcome at [email protected].
