Six years ago a small group of us founded Conduit with our own money and a vision of empowering the smaller Web publishers out there by giving them the tools to change the way they interact with their users. Many people were skeptical but we believed that we could truly make a difference.
Conduit redefined the toolbar, not as a search vehicle, but as a powerful engagement tool – the Community Toolbar. With so many publishers understanding this potential, Conduit inadvertently established a footprint for itself within the search market, comparable only to major classic search players.
Six years, 260,000 publishers, and 200 million users later, Conduit has proven to be one of the companies making a difference on the Web. Our product offering has greatly evolved and now includes apps, notifications, analytics and a marketplace. In the near future we will be creating new app distribution opportunities for our network of publishers, hastening the fulfillment of Conduit’s ambition to become an industry standard, to be used by all content publishers and available across all platforms.
Today I’d like to announce the next step in our journey – we have entered into a partnership with Microsoft which we believe will significantly improve our offering to publishers, accelerating the growth of Conduit’s massive network. Both companies are highly driven by improving the user experience, and as such, see a strong alignment in our long-term strategies and are looking forward to a mutually successful partnership.
As of January 1st, 2011, our publishers will provide the [URL="http://www.bing.com/"]full Bing experience[/URL] to their users. Users in the Conduit Network will get all the features unique to Bing, decision tools that go beyond search, and an excellent browsing experience that is constantly evolving.
I would like to thank Google for four years of partnership, which greatly contributed to the growth of the company. I would also like to express my appreciation to Bing and the Conduit team, both of whom worked hard to bring this partnership about.[/quote]Source: [URL="http://blog.conduit.com/2010/12/01/bing-%E2%80%93-it-has-a-nice-%E2%80%98ring%E2%80%99-to-it-2/"]http://blog.conduit.com/2010/12/01/bing-%E2%80%93-it-has-a-nice-%E2%80%98ring%E2%80%99-to-it-2/[/URL]

Bing is actually doing very well for a search engine in its earliness. In fact a lot of Bing's features, ideas, and concepts were so great Google created their own versions of them. It'll certainly never beat Google, but it's certainly not doomed to fail.
If the Xbox EVER gets an internet browser, you can be sure that you will be forced to use BING.
Last I checked conduit provided toolbars for IE6 and hijacked your browser... That's all I know about it.
I honestly don't notice a difference between Bing and Google. I usually find what I need with both, but since Chrome uses Google by default (for obvious reasons) I just use Google.
