OK, I admit – it’s alright to change your opinion about something once in awhile.
Back in June, 2012 I asked some friends by email if any of them had installed the new Bing Desktop app? Microsoft had released the Bing Desktop app an optional download through Windows Update/Microsoft Update (WU/MU).
I had read one very negative article (from Digital Trends) that reviewed the new Bing Desktop app. The title of the post was: “Bing Desktop for Windows: So lame that it’s practically spamware”.
Well, I’m not just going to take one person’s word for it. So, I installed the Bing Desktop onto my trusty (and crusty) 6 year old workstation. And guess what? I love it!!
I love the desktop photo of the day. Each day is so different, from various places from around the world — North Carolina fall colors, artic fox cub, or a view from Tuscany, Italy.
I also like the easy way to browse, without having to first open up a browser window. I have the Bing App situated as an automatic drop down from the top of my screen. Or I simply press Windows+H top open up the Bing bar.
Give it a try!
