It sounds like what you're saying is that Google does a better job than Bing of automatically identifying you, without you having to do anything, and then applying your own preferences.

Well no, not really. Google is plain, boring interface. I open the page, type in my search and Boom!, I get a response - I'm not distracted by all the shiny knobs and buttons that I really neither want nor need.

There's nothing plain about Google's search page nowadays.
I just launched my browser, went to google.com, and I'm now looking at a page that's asking me to login (no thanks), along with asking me to download Chrome (no thanks)...every time I load it up.

You actually made me curious about bing - so I went to check it...
I was there for 15 seconds... The moment I saw the 'outlook.com' and 'office online' on the menu bar, I closed it...
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

That's my default search engine. Highly recommended!
If you think 'goto' is evil, try writing an Assembly program without JMP.

It's a Microsoft product, good until the shine wears thin then completely falls apart.
Common sense is admitting there is cause and effect and that you can exert some control over what you understand.

Yes, and it found you.
All your computer are belong to them.

not all yet... I still have some machines without Win10

If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

The trick would be to enable cookies, log in, edit your preferences, log out, edit your preferences and then log in again.
After doing all that, you just go to your preferences and edit them.
Then you search for something and edit your preferences again.
And you're all set.
Every once in a while, once a month or so, you just click on preferences and edit them again.
And then you're set for life.
Really happy with bing, to be honest.
But.. too bad the search results are a bit wonky most of the time.

WTF??? Why should I have to do all of that? If they can't get it right then elephant them.

I always use DuckDuckGo.
No ads, no tracking. What else does one need?

Tried to watch the Web Session of the VS2017 Launch Training Sessions, but the site went down about a minute into it.
Just getting "The service is unavailable.

Microsoft has been having sporadic service outages for the last 2.5 days, including Hotmail, etc. This might have something to do with your issue.

They must be using Azure.

They moved it over to Channel 9

Yeah, happened to me too. Was disappointing. The session should have been recorded though and available at some point, I suppose.

There is no missing 's'. It's supposed to be 'cat scan'.
