I just took it for a test run (god, I think that means I binged myself...)

My sites rankings in Bing mirror Google's for the most part and I seem to have been spared from affiliate product page hell. All keywords return regular listings, not the affiliate content we saw in the videos.

Some differences. I'm seeing some .at sites mixed in with the .com's and I'm also seeing exact match sub-domains for the first time in a long time. Is Bing more friendly to sub-domains?

One thing I don't like though is how bad they are pushing to shop with Cashback

I have to agree, it's attached to sponsored listings too. I can also see potential for abuse, the popup form that asks for information seems to rely on email a lot. I bet someones already hard at work making code to spoof that popup.

edit: It's got bugs for sure. I typed in "planet bing" for the heck of it and it returned planet bing and planet bong. The bug is that it also showed me sponsored listings that say I can buy planet bing from eBay and the "Bing Cashback" link took me to an empty ebay page that said Microsoft will pay 8% of the bill if I use paypal and BIN... right now. I guess bugs are par for the course.
