I would say that the background of Bing is Fail #1.  Google has aced this topic in a way that cannot be surmounted: you 
can't unclutter blank.  The calming whiteness of Google is the "Don't Panic!" sticker for the Internet, marginally 
lowering the blood pressure of millions of frustrated noobs and frazzled old timers.  By adding color and pictures of 
near-sighted yaks, Bing hasn't done anything to make things simpler.

As for how well it works, I don't know.  I'm generally a demonstration of Newton's conclusion about bodies at rest, and 
Google isn't not working for me yet.
