"One new and noteworthy upgrade is the inclusion of search results from Wolfram Alpha, an oddball, "computational knowledge" search tool that's probably too geeky for the average user. When integrated with a mainstream query engine, however, Wolfram Alpha algorithms prove their mettle by returning actionable data rather than just a page of links. Microsoft provides a few examples on its Bing blog. Search for "bmi," for instance, and Bing displays Wolfram Alpha's body mass index calculator at the top of the results page."

Bing does in fact sound like its has a catchy ring to it. May be serious contender for the search engine throne.

The integration of Wolfram Alpha results into Bing is indeed a decent move by Microsoft, question is if it's exclusive or whether Google can just license the same thing from WA. If Microsoft were smart, they would have already bought WA to have its results EXCLUSIVE in Bing. Same applies to Twitter results btw. I both Google and Bing license access to Twitter, it's not a differentiator. Buying Twitter could have solved that for them.
