I have seen this on an internal MS slide....don't have a copy to share sorry :-(

BORING would have been better as in BOR Is Not Google.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
Live is not Google either, doesn't make it any better.
- Brian Schwartz
And that's supposed to be a positive thing? I am looking forward to Wave...now that's Google.
- Troy Malone
Hmmm.
- Kol Tregaskes
I suspect that BIG would have been better.
- Guan Yang
Oh, that is classic. Reminds me of WINE for Linux (Wine Is Not an Emulator).
- Sokkratez
That narrows it down.
- Ryan
Is that anything like GNU's Not Unix?
- Dan: Bibrarian

- Brian Schwartz
It must have been Ballmer's idea.
- Jared Mehle
I could see that being perverted to things like: Bing is not great, Bing is no good, Bing is now gone, Ballmer is not God etc.

Guhmshoo just showed how little thought Microsoft put in to the name.
- Scoble, Alex Scoble
They're all hype and no substance. They thought a clever name would get them in the game, and it make them look dumb. I'm guessing Bing is Live with a new name.
- Chris Spizzirri
Are they allowed to even use Google as part of their name? Clearly bing is just an abreviation if this is really the case and I would of thought that would be a no no.
- Simon Wicks
Ballmer Is Not Glad.
- Victor Panlilio
Ballmer is no Gates
- Larry Hawes
could have other variants bing is no good , not gnu either ;)
- bob phillips
And what would be the meaning of WAVE (WAVE Alters Visual Expressions)?
- peter huesken
They probably don't want to use the phrase "to bingle" either. See: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define...
- Andrew Fowler
This goes all the back (probably beyond) "GNU" == GNU's Not UNIX"
- John F. McMullen
@guhmshoo I say we turn it around and start plugging the phrase "to bingle" as /the/ word for the usage of Bing #bing #fail
- peter huesken
TINT Is Not Teco is from 1977 or '78.
- Bruce Lewis
sadly the first thing that comes to mind when i hear "Bing" is Chandler from Friends. I'm sure that's not a good thing either.
- John Wang
John Wang: +1. The next thing I thought of after Chandler was WENUS, which definitely is not a good thing! :>)
- Larry Hawes
I wouldn't be surprised if the next trending hashtag topic will be #bingstandsfor?
- Gil Francisco III
BING = Bartz Is No Go
- Gerald Buckley
At least it's not "evil" spells backwards.
- Matt Cutts
@Matt lol
- imabonehead
is BING run using GNU software? recursive acronyms FTW.
- Andrew Feinberg
They may have chosen the word hoping that it will be used in the future like google is used today. "Just Google it!" "Oh, I don't know the answer to that question Bob. Hold on for a second while I bing it." =)
- Mike Smith
Chandler BING aka The Dropper
- Joe Dawson
Of course, "Bing" means "jail": http://www.urbandictionary.com/define...
- Matt Furey
And "Bing" is also the Scottish mining term for "slag heap" the waste materials from mining... hmm not sure I'd be wanting that connotation Microsoft http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
- Belinda Simcox (Sim)
That actually seems kinda lame. How many good products use a competitor's name in their own? Aside from the Zune, Microsoft's marketing department is one of the worst aspects of this company.

Bingisnotgoogle.com actually points to Google search. Interesting!
- Arpit Dhariwal
it's a nice web search but I honestly don't think anything will replace Google search. It's just too common. People should just move on. What honestly would replace Google as the #1 search engine?
- Toby Howell
It's a little late for MicroSoft to be turning to Open Source-flavored linguistic wordplay for salvation.
- Chris Keene
wow that was good. I think BING = Bing is Not Good.
- Alp
cool!
- Jason Pollock
the colloquial version: BANG = BANG Ain't No G[whatever]

Bing actual returns pretty decent results, buts its going to take a revolutionary product to displace Google and unfortunately for Microsoft, BING is not it...
