I find "Instant" horribly distracting and annoying, so I turned it off. I wonder why Google made it "default on" like they did. A lot of inexperienced surfers will see this, become annoyed at how it works, not know what the heck it is or how to turn it off - and either suffer through it or go to Bing.

Common sense says to make it "off" by default and introduce it as a new feature - so people know what it is, how it works, etc...

Google is supposed to be quick, uncluttered and simple. This "Instant" is none of those.
