Screenshots: Microsoft Bing would be awesome if I could use it

Updated Did you hit bing.com today? If you got a blank page from Microsoft’s new search tool, it’s not because Bill Gates is blocking your non-Internet-Explorer browser. Microsoft has confirmed to VentureBeat that it’s working on fixing technical glitches that sometimes deliver a blank page. Sometimes you get a Coming Soon page.

While we wait for Bing’s servers to stabilize, the best read on what Bing is and does is Microsoft’s reviewer’s guide, a downloadable Word document that includes screenshots. We’ll post a roundup of reviews and comments from people who’ve tried it, later today.

Below are real-life screenshots taken this morning by one of Microsoft’s PR people who was able to get to the site.
