While I, too, wish this were the most popular URL, the Verge one beat yours by 20 minutes and thus has gathered all the steam: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34696849

I just watched the highlights from the Microsoft reveal, and it was incredibly dull. Their presentation was so uninspiring that I had to close it and move on. It's strange how they managed to take something exciting and make it so uninteresting.

Surprised/disappointed that they didn't bundle a Bing rebrand with this.

This was asked in the Q&A after the event, and the answer was: “We think of this as a reimagination of search completely, and we love the Bing brand, so we're going to stick with that, too.”

Thanks. Yikes. I'm sure the real answer is "rebranding would increase TTM".

Agreed, not only a rebranding of Bing, but they had the opportunity to change the category of search/chat. Instead it looks like they've just shoved chat into a tab as part of search.

There is a whole new world coming, and Microsoft missed a huge opportunity here. Now they are still comparing Bing to Google.

Exactly like everyone predicted.....
