Bing 2.0 May Launch this Fall

RSS Geeks · 09-12-2009, 08:42 AM

At Microsoft’s annual meeting yesterday, the rumor-mill began churning out tweets claiming Microsoft’s Bing search engine will be getting some new features. From the tweets that were posted (they have since been deleted), it appears that the Bing maps will get some additional functionality including pictures and Silverlight integration.

Overall, it’s all speculation. Some of the information received points to a launch date as early as next Monday, others claim anytime this fall. Mary Jo Foley at ZDNet got in touch with a Microsoft spokesperson who said: “We’re very excited about some of the new Bing features set to roll out over the next few months, but have nothing to announce today.”

If you haven’t already, would you switch your primary search engine to Bing if it offered new features? If so, which featuresseriously are important enough to make you switch?
