Woz-Bing! Apple Co-Founder a "Big Fan" of Microsoft's New Search Engine
Posted May 28, 2009 03:51pm EDT by Aaron Task in Internet, Newsmakers"That was the most astounding software demo I've every seen," Wozniak tells Tech Ticker after seeing Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer unveiled Bing at the All Things Digital Conference here.
To be sure, Wozniak's expectations were low and he's withholding judgment until he gets a chance to really use the engine. But he's "a big fan" and impressed enough to give Bing a try, which is probably all Ballmer & Co. could hope for.
Stay tuned for part II of my interview with Wozniak, where the Valley legend addresses:
- Steve Jobs' health and his problem with yesterday's Wall Street Journal story on the subject.
- The technology and products he's working on as chief scientist at Fusion-IO
- His recent stint on "Dancing with the Stars."

I hate the name Bing!!! anything but bing, I think they should just market it as the new live search, with an advertising slogan like "rediscover live search, and see for yourself" and promote the new features cos I can't stand the name bing, it's so tacky and annoying

Actually, to set the text blurb of this story straight, Woz's full quote is not simply "I'm a fan" implying he loves it, he says ... "I'm a big fan now... I'm a fan until I find out it's no good." And yes, I'm an Apple user since the late 1970s.
