I got a brand new laptop I planned to use for my small home business and personal use, as well as editing videos, etc… I was 100% ready to use Bing as my search engine because I like the search results and format and ai incorporation far more than using google search on Chrome… BUT when I started using it, I quickly remembered the integration, or lack thereof, regarding Office 365. With Chrome, I get basically the Office Suite features free and can easily navigate between the Google “Office” features and my browser searches. If I use Edge and Bing, I have to pay for Microsoft Office 365, which is expensive. Completely abandoned the new email address I’d made and already changed on my work related things. Now I fee forced to use Google and some iteration of Google, Chrome, and/or gmail. I predict that if Microsoft did charge for that Office Suite, people would use something other than Google searches. Also, there are some bugs that keep Edge from working properly with signing in to keep bookmarks and some other stuff up to date. So integration, minor annoying bugs, and the cost of being able to use Office Suite style products with it is a huge problem when competing with Google’s all in one approach and delivery, regardless of how much you want to move away from a Google Search bar.
